Worry, no- test, yes: I wouldn't say worry so much as I would say take appropriate steps for your health and those around you. You do need to get tested, and you do need to quarantine. Then monitor yourself. Just because you feel fine today, doesn't mean you'll feel fine in 48 hours. Monitor your temperature at least twice daily, rest and take lots of fluids. You don't need to infect loved ones over the holidays.

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.
