If i feel flu like symptoms should i get tested for covid 19?

Both tests: A screening test for influenza and COVID 19 are recommended. Review any potential risk factors with your PCP or during a Healhtap consult online. Watch for worsening respiratory symptoms, shortness of breath and cough. Treat fever with Tylenol rather than Motrin. Drink fluids and rest.

Yes: Both COVID and flu, if flu season in your area and COVID test is negative. Make sure your GP is aware and quarantine. Follow local regulations and inform your employer as well.

Should I get tested for COVID? My brother tested positive (we live together). I have been experiencing headache and flu-like symptoms (cough, congestion, malaise, tiredness). Took Adco-Dol for the headache, which makes it difficult to determine temp.
