Yes: If any household member is still positive, please continue to self isolate. Your children who have not been tested may also be screened. Watch for Vomiting and Diarrhea since these are common COVID 19 symptoms among children. Watch for fever, shortness of breath and prolonged cough. Use children's Tylenol to treat fever if it occurs, provide fluids and good nutrition. Please follow up. Repeat test
