My sister tested positive yesterday and is under home isolation. Her symptoms are irregular dry caugh and mild cold.
We stay in the same house along with our parents and dint get our tests done yet. We are asymptomatic and want to take precautions to contain the spread. Need suggestions for this scenario.
Any medications, etc. recommended?

Your sister has to isolate at home for at least 3 weeks. If you are in the same room, wear a double cloth mask or a single N 95 mask. You can take Ivermectin 12mg daily for 3days, vitamin C, and zinc twice daily.
