Self-isolate: If infected with Covid-19, symptoms can begin anywhere from day 3 to day 8. Look for fever, dry cough, extreme tiredness. Many people will have no symptoms. Self isolate for 14 days to prevent spreading the disease. see a Dr for worsening difficulty breathing, persisitent chest pain, confusion and blue lips/nails.

Depends on symptoms : Drink plenty of fluids, rest, monitor your temperature, and isolate until you're feeling better/14 days. If you are worsening in any way, please seek in-person or telemedicine care. Let anyone you have been in close contact with recently know so they can monitor themselves, isolate, and possibly be tested.
