When to Get Tested for COVID-19?

If you or someone you’ve been in close contact with shows symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, cough, or loss of taste or smell, it’s crucial to get tested. Additionally, if you have been exposed to someone who tested positive, even without symptoms, testing is important to detect asymptomatic cases. Travel to high-risk areas or upcoming medical procedures may also warrant testing. Taking precautionary measures and following workplace or school requirements for testing can contribute to a safer environment for everyone. Prompt testing plays a vital role in curbing the spread of COVID-19 and protecting the well-being of our community.

Know the COVID-19 Symptoms

One of the challenges with COVID-19 is that its symptoms are often the same as many other colds and cases of flu. In general, its symptoms can include:

  • High fever
  • Lethargy/tiredness
  • Dry coughs
  • Muscle fatigue or pains
  • Sore throat
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Chest pain
  • Discoloration of fingers or toes
  • Loss of a sense of smell or taste

Even if you have some of these symptoms, it does not necessarily mean you have the coronavirus.  That is why testing is so important!
