Brief Answer:
Better to get tested if she is belong to a high volume area.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
During initial stages, COVID can mimic strep throat. As of now better to get isolated from the family members. All the family members should stick to good hand hygiene and use face mask.
If she is belong to an area where the case volume is high and community spread has been started, bettet to get tested for COVID.
Hope I have answered your query.
