Yes: Generally quarantine is recommended for 10-14 days depending on location, local resources and regulations. Testing, if available may shorten the quarantine duration, providing negative.

Agree with Dr. P: 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.
