Around Day 4: Firstly, because children are often asymptomatic, make sure she is quarantined. Limit her movements and have her wear a mask at home to prevent spread to other family members. Testing should occur on or about day 4 post exposure. Watch for Fever, Cough, fatigue, diarrhea, nasal congestion, rash and body aches, as these are all associated with Covid-19. Treat symptomatically with acetaminophen.

Covid ?'s: Exposure to a covid positive individual should require quarantine for all in the immediate family. Covid testing should be done after 5 days of exposure. Call your family physician for information .
