Brief Answer:
You may need quarantine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you need to quarantine because you were in close contact with her two days before she started symptoms.
You may need to quarantine for 14 days from Wednesday or do a nasopharyngeal swab.

Hope I have answered the question.
