If are not vaccinated against Covid 19, it would be appropriate to get tested.

Yes, you should be tested.You may not have Covid,but even if you are vaccinated,you should be tested. You should also isolate until you know your results, so that you are not spreading it to others, and wear a well fitting KN95 or N95 or medical grade surgical mask if you must be around others.The Omicron variant has been contracted by people even if vaccinated,although they tend to not be as ill.
