Question: Hey Doc
I got back from the states about 11 days ago and I just found out that someone there has Corona, when I heard this I got nervous as started to sweat a little and my fever was 37 which is nothing. Opinion? Blood Oxygen is 98% if that means anything. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Depends on contacts

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Danger of transmission depends on type of contact that you had with infected persons. If this wasnt close and prolonged contact then there is no need to be worried. Also, most symptoms in infected people occur within 10 days and your symptoms are not indicating such infection. If you still think that you were exposed, you should wait for 3,4 more days and avoid contact with family, or friends. If you develop fever, cough or chest pain, you should do testing. Wish you good health

Hey Doc So my case gets even more complicated and I would appreciate your opinion. Last Sunday 8 days ago when I was not feeling well. I went to the ER and all the tests were fine but the Triponin was borderline high. all other tests were normal. The nurse there I learned today got infected with Corona and I got a call because she was interacting with several people including me. I am supposed to be in Isolation until the 23rd. No Fever and no cough. Throat bothers me a little but nothing crazy. I gargle salt water. Any opinion here as yes I am very nervous. Thanks doc

Brief Answer:
Hi

Detailed Answer:
There is no need to be worried as only prolonged and close contact with infected persons may lead to transmission. Usually through sneezing or coughing. I know it is unpleasant but I am sure it will be fine. Just drink plenty of fluids take vitamin c and be in isolation as recommended. There is nothing more you can do
