Corona virus: If you are symptomatic and not SOB you should not need tested. Testing in itself does not change the course and at this time and it does not lead to a specific beneficial action. If fever and SOB the testing guides inpatient therapy. Follow the following guidelines: https://www.healthtap.com/blog/covid-19-care-guidelines/preventing-covid-19; https://www.healthtap.com/blog/covid-19-care-guidelines

How far can Omicron virus be in air without symptoms? If I talked to friend maskless outside of 6 feet or directly 6 feet for just 1 minute, no symptoms the day. My friend tested positive the next day with symptoms. Is it close contact, will I get it?
