Dilemma about travel [View all]

I live in Madison and my daughter lives in Denver. She is giving birth even as I am posting this. I had a cough and fever and, because of my age, I got tested for covid-19 as well as influenza A and B. All my tests came back negative. I want to drive out and help her with the housework, cooking, cleaning, etc. I am not sure if I should go.
