Flu and sore throat with phlegm

My wife is having the above symptom on 1/3/2020. Initially I thought she got it from me and my daughter as we have just recovered from flu. Until yesterday evening, we got to know one of our neighbors is diagnosed with positive covid19 at Taman Desa hospital. It should be reported to kkm by now.
My wife has had direct contact with the patient’s family member over the past one week but not with the patient.
I am worried about my wife situation, please advise what shall we do.
