I have had contact with a potential positive covid case. i have been displaying the same symptoms as when i had covid in july. (sore throat, burning chest, nausea, runny tummy) should i go for a test?

Yes: There have been some cases reported where people have gotten I'll twice with Covid. Most people develop long term antibody protection, but that number is not 100%. Therefors. if you have had exposure, get a test. If negative, may want influenza test as well as symptoms are very similar and there is treatment available for influenza if started early in course of illness. Put mind at ease -get test.

Dr Machanic and another doctor agreed

COVID 19 concerns: The chance of this being a reinfection with COVID 19 would be low. Please seek consultation with your doctor to help determine the cause and to determine if repeat testing will be authorized.

Dr Singh agreed

Test not needed: The risk of second infection with Covid-19 virus is extremely remote.
