Symptom paranoia

So I’ve had a headache for 4 out of 5 days, a pressure headache. I do get migraines when due on my period which started yesterday though.
I’ve had a sore throat for a week.
Dizziness for 4 days.
Sneezing and some congestion.

I’m certain it just a cold however I’m getting pressure from colleagues to test. It really isn’t necessary is it and a waste of a test?

I have been in an office where 4 out of 15 have tested positive in the last 2 weeks but we’re Covid secure supposedly.

4 out of 15 sounds quite high, did you have close contact with them? I'd hope anyone who did would be self isolating.

No we’re all 2 metres away at all times so no close contact. I’m in Bolton and it’s just rife up here as the news is saying.

What are the protocols for shared spaces like bathrooms, and touch points like door handles?

I also think 4 out of 15 positive cases in your office sounds high. Worth a test imo.

Are you wearing masks in the office?

Pickagoddamnname · 22/09/2020 20:08

Shared facilities are cleaned by us before and after use. Hand gels on desks and at entrance to the office. No masks unless we have to go less than 2 metres to a colleague.
3 of the 4 had children sent home due to cases in their school year so could have come from the child.
