Thank you for your question.
First and foremost, I understand your concern regarding this issue of coronavirus since there’s an outbreak of the virus.
Before we can proceed to anything, we should assess your risk profile. You can 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 as follows and please act accordingly.
On top of that, for your information individuals that are required to be quarantine are those:

Covid-19 test would be offered by public hospital if you’re high riak and meet certain criteria. Otherwise you can opt for private testing through this link COVID-19 Screening At Home
In the meantime you are advised to practice these 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
