Slight fever, sore throat, chills, flu

I currently have Slight fever, flu, sore throat, body aches and chills since early this week . On 23rd feb I organized an education fair and it was attended by around 1000 pax, locals and foreigners. On 25th Feb, I traveled to penang to organize another edu fair and it was attended by around 200. I had close contacts with the exhibitors, mostly americans and have travelled to indonesia and myanmar for the edu fairs there the previous weeks. Should i be concerned? Can i test for covid19?
