A member asked:

Ive had headache and congestion for several days now. no fever though. ive been doing all the grocery shopping for my parents as theyre high risk. should i get tested for covid 19 even though no fever? im not overly concerned but wanted to ask.

Covid-19: Your symptoms are typical of any viral illness but there is nothing specific (such as fever, cough,shortness of breath) that suggests Covid-19. I don't think testing is necessary at this time.
