So my ds (7) was awake in the night with a sore throat. No other symptoms. Now fine.
As far as I understand it sore throat can be a symptom of covid but unlikely (if not impossible) if not accompanied by cough/fever etc. That said lots of people don't have symptoms at all do they. Can't find a definitive answer as to whether or not a sore throat is enough to ask for a test by itself.
I am in one of the areas with increased restrictions and although we as a family have been careful he has been mixing with other children in playgrounds etc (haven't they all?) with strict handwashing etc, there's a small outbreak locally. Would you get him tested or am I massively overreacting. Also there is a drive in testing site relatively close by which last I heard has plenty of appointments and a quick turnaround.
