COVID test: Yes, do get the test for COVID if you have flu like symptoms. Other symptoms that may prompt testing include loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and headaches.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Contact your doctor/local hospital, by phone for evaluation and testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Get Covid vaccine. Wish you good health.
