The incubation period of the virus is the time between the exposure and the display of symptoms. Current information suggests that the incubation period ranges from 1 to 12.5 days (with median estimates of 5 to 6 days), but can be as long as 14 days
symptoms start as mild symptoms and gradually get worse over a few days. So take medicine if fever cough etc keep yourself in isolation and use mask sanitizer it you get relief from symptoms if worst get tested
