Question : I flew to Los Angeles from Hawaii March 13. I return to Hawaii March 19. I am not having any symptoms of the Corona Virus. Should I be tested for it ?Should I self quarantine myself at home for 14 days? I am 55 years old and in good health.

Self quarantine for 15 days

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Both options have their own advantage. If you can strictly restrict your socialisation, self-quarantine for 15 days is good option.
