Test: Since there is a risk for coronavirus, please stay home, rest and drink fluids. Monitor for symptoms including fever, dry cough and/or shortness of breath. Avoid contact with others and consider testing. The symptoms of COVID 19 may be very mild. Travel is one risk factor for acquiring the disease.
