Thanks for the query.
All the primary contact of the confirmed case should go to quarantine for two weeks, ideally a COVID test is also to be done for contacts,
Rahbdomyolysis can be caused by many reason, most commonly by trauma or dehydration. Rarely autoimmune disease can also cause rhabdomyolysis.
