Hi there. Thank you for your question.
In this situation, I believe you didn’t directly meet the individual with positive coronavirus in person. In addition, you are currently well with no symptoms. If that’s the case, it is not necessary for you to come and do screening for COVID-19.
However, you are encourage to answer the quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate your health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories with an advice on the next appropriate steps that should be taken. You are also advised to monitor any development of such symptoms:
Fever
Coughing
Shortness of breath
Body ache
Sore throat
Headache
Runny nose
Otherwise you are encourage to take precaution steps against this virus. These are the guidelines from Centre of Disease Control (CDC):
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. - Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
I hope you will always be in your best health and thank you.
