Quarantine: You should be in self quarantine as it might take another week for you to develop symptoms. As soon as spiking fever, having a sore throat or cough- test. Do not travel, nor visit medical facilities.

7 more days: You should avoid contact for at least another seven days, until she has not symptoms for 7 days, or is without fever for three days, whichever is longer. She should seek medical care and possibly a chest image if she has respiratory symptoms.
