Cold syndrome with the common virus is rare during the summer so if the Covid-19 case is high in your area, she should be tested for quarantine purpose. To be safe, she should be isolated, if possible, in the meantime.

Monitor her temperature, provide fluids and screening is recommended for COVID-19. Isolate and if worsening cough, shortness of breath develops, please see your physician. Other causes include allergic rhinitis if there is no fever or the common cold.
