Brief Answer:
You should remain in quarantine...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is not uncommon to find people COVID-19 positive patients without any symptoms. Asymptomatic patients and those with mild to moderate symptoms recover very well. However, it is a must that you, your wife, and any others in the family remain quarantined immediately. The process is recommended to prevent other contacts from getting the infection.
You should also contact the concerned authorities, who will monitor the status and perform follow up test until she and other family members turn COVID-19 negative. She will also be started on immune-boosting vitamins (C, E and others) and may also be prescribed antiviral drugs.
Practice social distancing and recommended personal hygiene measures. There is a high chance she and the rest of others will get through the infection.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Regards
