I arrived from Costa Rica last Thursday. I have had a sore throat for 5 days. It is mild. What should I do?

Good evening Madam,

First of all, you should know that the Quebec government announced today that it is recommending the repatriation of all Quebecers present outside the country. Indeed, there are factors that suggest that it may be impossible for you to return in the next few weeks otherwise.

I then recommend that you go to this site (CoronaCheck👈) created by Swiss authorities, but very adequate to our "local" situation in Quebec.

If the tool recommends that you consult a doctor, I recommend calling 1-877-644-4545. The staff on the other end of the line will direct you to the nearest testing clinic to where you live for when you return to Quebec (or may recommend that you be tested on site in Costa Rica).

Happy evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
