Testing: A screening test for SARS CoV-2 is indicated, drink fluids, monitor your temperature, self isolate and rest. Continue to self isolate until all symptoms resolve, three days without fever, which is longer in duration. Watch for cough, shortness of breath and fever.

COVID 19 testing: You indicated that you tested negative for COVID 19 but when were you tested? Average incubation period for COVID-19 is 2 to14 days (but as little as 1 day), median time is 4-5 days. You have more chance of having an accurate test result if you have symptoms or you wait at least a few days after COVID 19 contact.
