Yes! get tested!: Headache, Fever, joint/muscle pain and chest congestion/cough are all major symptoms of Covid. Even if they diagnosed him with Bronchitis (which is a functional diagnosis not a cause), it is vital for both of you to get tested. Covid can cause all these symptoms including Bronchitis.
