Do I need another test?

I started with a cough Thursday, was quite severe so got a test Friday. I’ve had a negative result through today but over the last couple of hours I seem to have lost all taste.

I obviously don’t want to waste tests but I’m a teacher and an supposed to be going back in on Monday because I text today saying the test was negative. I really don’t want to mess them about by changing what I’ve said, but also don’t want to spread anything. The cough has significantly calmed down already!

You need another test. I'm a teacher with Covid and 4 positive members of my family too. Tasted and smell was the last symptom we all got, do another test. Wish you luck, it's a tough ride.

Technically you don't, but I probably would. You may well have tested too early.

Setting off for one now! What an exciting Saturday night.
