COVID 19: Ws the exposure 2 days ago or 9 days ago? (I don't know which Thrusday you are referring to). I don't know your wife's cancer situation but if she has received chemotherapy or her immune system is seriously compromised, she could be at risk for more severe outcome if effected by COVID 19. Incubation is usually 1 to 14 days with a median of 5 days. If daughter has sx's test immediately. less likely
