I would like to know if i should go for a covid 19 test. i was cleaning out birds nests on saturday. i seemed to have had an allergic reaction to this. sunday i felt terrible, yesterday ok. today i had a temp and very slight sore throat and i am hoar?

Allergic reaction: What you described fits more with an allergy. Birds are not known to transmit SARS CoV-2 (Bats are not birds). Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Wish you good health!
