Yes: As a physician, you may put patients at risk if you have COVID 19 that gets missed. I think getting tested is a good idea. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher with at least 2 of these sx’s: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. Take care
