Covid Testing: Testing is usually available after a consultation with a local Dr either in person or via Telemedicine. Talk to your personal Dr first to see about the referral. Since you have a close family contact, you are probably positive. Treatment does not change with testing. Use Acetaminophen for pain, headache, fever. Cold/flu meds for nasal congestion, cough etc, Drink lots of fluids and eat lightly.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Contact your doctor/local hospital, by phone for evaluation and testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Get Covid vaccine. Wish you good health.
