A member asked:

Hi. i had diarrhoea and a uti over the last 3 days, which seems to be subsiding now as i am now on a dose of antibiotics. do i need to go for a covid test?

Covid test ?'s: Diarrhea and a UTI treatment do not require Covid testing, but if you have upper respiratory symptoms, or have been near a person testing positive for Covid, obtain a PCR Covid test, and quarantine for at least 10 days, even if the test is negative.

COVID 19: Since you are on antibiotics, I am assuming that you have already been evaluated by a medical professional. I am making the additional assumption that the medical provider would have made a referral for COVID 19 testing it they believed that your symptoms were consistent with COVID 19 infection.
