Chances are not Zero. Do a cocvid test and follow local guidelines for treatment if positive.

Vomiting and stomachache can definitely be symptoms of COVID-19 (as well as other viruses) as can the cough and stuffy nose. She should definitely be tested for COVID-19 and if positive, discuss further with her doctor. Meanwhile for the vomiting, let her stomach rest by not eating or drinking for a couple of hours, then start with some clear fluids and increase gradually to prevent dehydration.
