This can be COVID 19, it can be other viral conditions. COVID 19 often presents without a fever Keep her isolated for now and see a doctor via telemedicine

Could be COVID 19.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. Seek med consult.
