COVID 19 is possible: Rest, hydrate, quarantine & eat healthfully. Consider use of acetaminophen, saline for nasal irrigation, decongestant or cough syrup. Naprosyn is a good choice if NSAID’s are used. Zinc, vitamin C & D supplements may be helpful. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion. Testing will show if you have COVID 19.

Agree with Dr. F: Drink enough water and fruit juice to keep your urine mostly colorless. Take paracetamol for fever and pain, no more than 4 g/day, no alcohol. You may take multivitamins and vitamin D3. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to hospital immediately. Wish you good health.
