You should be: The important thing however regardless of being tested is to rest and not stress out. Make sure to take adequate fluid with soups balanced with other fluid to replace lost fluid and salt in diarrhea and make sure to be checked if getting worse especially shortness of breadth. Please make sure to wear mask so you do not expose those around you also to infection. Wash hands and disinfect surfaces.
