First let him isolate himself in the room with attached bathroom.. monitor temperature and oxygen levels.every 6 hours.. if temperature crosses 100 degree he is safe to take dolo 650mg..watch for two days inform the health authorities nearby about his symptoms.. they will take him for the test if required and also other members of the family.. steam inhalation, salt water gargling, taking plenty of fluids maintaining healthy diet.. sleep minimum of 8 hours at night all are to be followed..kindly do the test as and when required..

If you people are living together then everyone around would have been infected by now.
So relax..
Because no one has any symptoms.
Testing is always better but you have to check local guidlines and going to hospital will increase your chances of getting infected if not infected so far...
It's. Totally your judgement as per govt guidlines in your area.
Better is all keep at home nad wait for 3-5 dys if no danger sign and symptoms releive than relax...
