Prevention of covid
Unfortunately I came in contact with a + healthcare worker, who died later due to same. Contact was of 5-10 minutes, where he didn't had mask but I had N95 mask. Covid was not detected till then(it was found after his death)
He was fully vaccinated.
It was 4 days back.
Can I take any preventive meds at this juncture? Any prophylaxis...Like ivermectin or others ?? Any dietary recommendation?
Though I am also, double dose vaccinated with covisheild(2nd dose 34 days back) plus was + also in April.
Please suggest.

Isolate yourself from your family. Get an RT-PCR test for Covid done 7 days after exposure to positive patient. Once you test negative, you can resume normal life.
