I know nobody can diagnose online....
So I guess I just want to hear what you think—
For a few weeks I had a horrible sinus infection and was very lethargic.
I was even given antibiotics before the pandemic broke out all around.
Usually the antibiotics work well for me for a sinus infection but this time I saw little relief.
Eventually after close to 3(!) weeks my sinuses cleared up. Now I have a mild sore throat and I’m so very tired but since my kids are all home, I’m pushing myself and managing.
A few days ago dh started feeling sick. He has all the symptoms of Covid19 including fever. He thinks I must have had the virus and he caught it from me.
It’s really impossible to know obviously.
If I did already have it, am I at risk to catch it again from him?
Most important, if I wear a mask and gloves, can I go out to buy food? That’s my real question. We need some food for shabbos. And we will need for pesach too.
Do you think I have to stay inside and avoid going out because my husband is sick? Is my mild sore throat something I need to isolate for even though I had a sinus issue for a few weeks?
This is all so confusing... I wouldn’t want to get anyone sick and don’t want to bring home germs either.
What would you do?

It's impossible to know what you had in the past, but since you have symptoms now you should NOT leave your house. At all. Please order food or contact a chesed organization. You can kill someone if you are contagious, even with a mask and gloves.
