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.

COVID exposure: Whether or not you were at risk depends on 1) when your cousin was infected; 2) what symptoms he had when you were together; and 3) how close the contact was. With positive test today, he could have been infected 3 days to a month earlier. So it is likely but not certain you were exposed. with this timing, he could have caught it from you. You need to be tested and self quarantine.
