Yes: Testing and quarantine will be justified in this context. Your primary care doc or GP will be best to further coordinate.

COVID concerns: Unless you plan to quarantine for 14 days, that would be prudent.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
