Get tested: In the US, some companies and states are testing anyone who wants to be tested and those who have been exposed. As people can be asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic and be spreading COVID to others, many companies do have this policy. Although a negative test only means you were negative at the time of the test, not after, this can be somewhat helpful. If that is their policy, get tested. It's easy.

COVID 19 vs FLU: There can be a significant overlap in symptoms between influenza and COVID 19. Unfortunately, testing can sometimes be the only way to accurately distinguish the two.

Should I get tested for COVID? My brother tested positive (we live together). I have been experiencing headache and flu-like symptoms (cough, congestion, malaise, tiredness). Took Adco-Dol for the headache, which makes it difficult to determine temp.
