Isolate away: Isolate away from others and senior citizens in particular. Arrange testing locally, rest, drink fluids and treat fever with Tylenol. The typical incubation period is 2-5 days but as long as 14 days. Most individuals will be symptomatic within 10 days.

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.
