A member asked:
I had a little bit of a blocked flue and i took medication and now it's gone, would you recommend that j go for a covid 19 test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID concerns: If you ONLY have blocked nose - COVID 19 testing may not be indicated. However, it isn't clear if you have other FLU symptoms. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.
