If real contact...: Self-quarantine helps: Stay at home, except for going to get medical care. Do not go to work, school, church, playgrounds, or other public areas. For medical care questions about your COVID-19 symptoms or other health issues, get advice from your doctor by video or phone.

COVID 19: How close was contact? Less than 6 feet apart? Both wearing mask? Person appear ill at the time? Outdoors or in poorly ventilated, crowded tight space? Less than 10 minutes? If someone who is infected coughs or sneezes right at you, you can become infected. Would quarantine. For close contact being tested is the only way to know for sure.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
