Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
1. Yes, you could be harbouring the virus even if there are no symptoms. There are many individuals who are tested positive for Covid 19 in the absence of any symptoms.
2. If your maid has visited your place recently, it would be wiser to get the Covid 19 test to be done in order to rule out that none of your family members are harbouring the virus.
3. Eat healthy food, drink plenty of water, and sleep well. This would boost up your immunity and protect you all against the virus.
Hope this answers your query; revert back to me if you have any follow-up queries.
