Query regarding Covid-19 symptoms

I am Fazlin, 23 years old and currently in Kelantan. I am unsure about myself but i experience two of the symptoms which are dry cough (not severe but frequent) and shortness of breath. However, i always feel shortness of breath so i am not sure if it is because of the virus or its my nature.

And i have a history of going to KL for an interview on 2/3 until 3/3. And on previous 3/3, i went for a walk near to masjid sri petaling, and etc. On 3/3 night, i encountered with a group of people wearing white jubah, and they seemed like pious people from some sort of program (because there were quite a number of them) and going back to hometown. But i am not sure, if they involved with tabligh ijtimak or not. And they happened to be in the same bus with me, heading to kelantan.

And i started to have dry cough in me after 2 weeks travelling to KL. I am scared if i contained that virus in me. Hence, id like to know what should i do now. Should i wait for fever to appear or what? My dry cough is not that severe, but i am still worried.
