My dad had pneumonia, should i be worried that we all caught it because we are all now coughing?

Contagious: Ask the physician what type of pneumonia your dad had and whether the covid19 virus is a concern. Fever, chills, sweats, discolored sputum, chest pain, wheezing or other breathing difficulties would indicate a need for examination by a physician and chest xray. If covid19 has been in your region,get tested.
