Hi @amart22018 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sure we will be hearing from others soon who have family members or friends with the virus, or they themselves for that matter. I am sure the unknown period of the diagnosis and in-home symptom management of your family members is stressful. Many people have managed well at home. Hospitalization is usually only necessary for people with compromised immune systems or people over 70.

You mentioned that your sister is still able to work from home, so Ii hope she continues to feel well enough to work. Have been able to communicate with your family members during this time? How are they handling the in-home isolation and getting any supplies, like food, they need?

She continue to work as she is a pretty tough person. Very in shape and active. We are all connected via phone, text and email. Too early to know more about food supplies. We have enough to last a week or more. Don't know yet what next week will look like. Thankfully we all have friends.
