Would you test?

[DuchessOfHastings123]

Sorry for another 'would you test' thread!

There have been ALOT of cases at my DPs workplace since september, and lots more since xmas. Infact someone died last week. Anyway my DP has had a splitting headache all week, yesterday he felt nauseous and today he said he just feels weird and a bit spaced out. I have had a sore throat, ear ache and a really sore neck since tuesday.
He mentioned to his workplace that he felt off but they said it isn't testable symptoms (which i know is correct) and if he felt well enough he should go in!
Do you think he should be tested because of how many cases there have been at his work?

If you have the ZOE covid app, it will probably invite you to do a test with those symptoms. So if you don’t, now is probably a good time to download it.

That is a good idea!

There seems to be plenty of tests available at the moment, book one and just tick one of the three symptoms listed, for both of you and isolate until you get results.

Yeah I would test, didnt they add a whole load of cold/flu symptoms to the Covid what to look for list?
Also, a colleague started with diarrhoea and headache then a very mild cough a few days later and she tested positive.

I think there has been a few articles about other symptoms but nothing official. He must be one of the only ones left who hasn't had it by now at his work. Think will just order tests and he will have to say he has a temp now or something to work. Our 3 kids are fine but the baby has been sneezing

Yes I would.

Yes.
