Be cool. Watch him for early signs of infection . All children exposed may not be suffering from disease and in small children it is mostly mild.

You need to seperate him from you but there should be someone who take care of him. Covid in children is not much as danger as like in adults.

Hi. Nothing to worry. Wear a Mask at home too. Maintain proper hygiene. Watch for symptoms in the child like fever/cough/cold/loose stool. If any consult a nearby paediatrician immediately
