How concerned should I be?

My brother tested positive for COVID. He was exposed on Wednesday, and found out that the people he was around tested positive Saturday. My brother started showing symptoms yesterday such as a cough and congestion, and tested positive today. He’s been around my mom and me. My mom is very high risk. She has lupus, lung problems, (she sleeps with an oxygen tank) raynaud’s, (poor circulation related to her lupus, from what I understand) and is 60 years old. She caught the flu when I was ten, and was hospitalized with a pulmonary embolism after having the flu. She ate after my brother the other day when we assumed he wasn’t positive. Neither my mom or I are showing symptoms as of right now. How worried should I be about my mom? My mom and I are both getting tested tomorrow, to be safe.

My roommate had it and we were both under house arrest for 2 weeks and I never got it. Hopefully you guys have the same luck!
@SooperSarah I certainly hope we don’t catch it!! I’m glad you were lucky and didn’t catch it either! I hope your roommate is doing well! 😊
@marilynmichelle she's doing great. Other than losing her sense of smell and taste she thought it was just allergies.
That’s good to hear! @SooperSarah
