Hi there, i have have flu symptoms for 4 days now. i started with tickly cough and sore chest. i'm on day 4 now, my body is still quite sore, but the chest pain and coughing is not bad any more, do i need to test for covid?

ZA or USA??: Hope you are quarantining. This could be from COVID 19 or from a number of other infections. If you don't plan to stay quarantined - would look into testing.I can’t tell where you are from. If from South Africa, contact PCM who will assess & make determination about COVID 19 testing. USA – policies vary by state. State & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
