You don't mention what your symptoms are or what the differential component of the white blood cell count is(%of polys, lymphocytes),. Viral infections,which is what you probably have, can temporarily suppress the bone marrow's production of white blood cells. I expect your wbc will return to normal when you recover from this present presumably viral infection. Your MD will follow-up appropriately

Daughter had shortness of breath. (-) pcr and rapid tests. EKG, blood clotting test, CBC, WBC, chest x-ray all negative. Could she still have covid because certain strains not picked up on test? Would SOB get worse? Would other symptoms appear?
