COVID-19 : A close contact is defined as any individual who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 2 days before illness until the time the patient is isolated. Testing is recommended for all close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 patients. If testing is not available, asyntomatic close contacts should self-quarantine and be monitored for 14 days after their last exposure

Agree with Dr. P: If feasible, self quarantine for 14 days. At least wear a mask in public. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
