I have a sore throat, and been contact with my sister inlaw who has arrived from canada via switzerland. should i seek a covid 19 test?

Contact Dr. first: COVID-19 infections tend to have cough, whereas strep usually lacks cough but has more throat pain. Typically, throat pain can be from a strep throat (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor (call first) if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly.
