Yes: The virus is spread by droplets entering the respiratory tract. Watch for symptoms of fever, cough and/or shortness of breath. Stay home for at least seven days, monitor your temperature and report fever to your PCP. A screening test is suggested is symptoms develop. Other causes of their cough are certainly possible.
