COVID 19 : Based on what I read you will get screened for COVID 19. The nasal swab for COVID 19 is a good way to determine if you have COVID 19 and help determine if you can spread the virus even if you have no symptoms.

Results: Sometimes it can take some time to obtain the results. I would advise staying at home until you are proven to have a negative PCR test. There are cases of COVID 19 which are very mild and the individual is still contagious. Before entering the work environment, please ensure that you are without symptoms, including a fever of 100.4 or more and that you have a negative test.
