Agree with Dr. F: Get tested. Not only for your health but also to see if you need to take extra precautions to prevent spreading the virus to others. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/index.html#cdc-chat-bot-open
