Q: sore throat since two weeks today morning when i took a deep breath my i had a sharp pain in my chest. should i get tested for covid?

: After two weeks, you are outside of the quarantine window, so a covid test may not change how you are treated, unless you are in some way immunocompromised, continue to have fever, or symptoms worsening. It may be a good idea to talk to your doctor about a two-week-long sore throat, with or without a covid test.
