Call physician: If your symptoms are mild or tolerable and you can care for yourself (drink plenty of fluids, take anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing generic medications, wear a mask and self-quarantine), then it is better to stay home till recovery. Otherwise, call health care provider/authority to discuss options
