My grandmother is 80+ years old she has asthma and tested positive for corona today but she don't have critical condition as of now but had mild fever (around 99) yesterday. What should I do ?   Should I admit her in hospital (as she is old and is an asthma patient)     Or Should I wait for any critical symtoms to arise
