Yee: A COVID 19 screening test is recommended. Encourage fluids,rest and monitor his temp. Use Tylenol rather than Motrin to treat fever until COVID 19 screening negative.

I've had Covid-19. Symptoms started on 26 Dec 2020. I've mostly recovered, except fatigue and the odd headache or sore throat. I got a fever again from last night. Could I get Covid-19 again so soon, and should I isolate? Must I test for Covid-19?
