Do I need to get tested for the coronavirus?
It’s important to get tested if you’re experiencing the symptoms commonly associated with the coronavirus or if you’ve been around someone with the symptoms. These symptoms are typically: • Fatigue/tiredness • Fever • A dry cough • Loss of smell/taste Typically, the symptoms above are mild, but they can be more significant or accompanied by other symptoms like headache or even severe symptoms like: • Loss of movement/speech • Chest pain or chest pressure • Breathing problems such as shortness of breath The symptoms listed above require immediate medical attention. Symptoms may not show up at all or may only show after 2 to 14 days after the day of infection. If you do test positive for Covid 19, it is important to distance yourself even with family members or anyone you live with. There are other safety precautions to take, like those your local health officials recommend.
