A member asked:

My mother testes positive and i live with her. would i have it as well ? i am showing some symptoms

It seems you have it: Your mother is positive and you have symptoms sounds like you have the infection. If there is access, get tested as well. It is important to wear mask to limit chances of transmission to more of your loved ones. You may want to be checked if the symptoms get worse but otherwise rest and drink adequate fluids.
