My throat is tingling. Is this a symptom of coronavirus?

Hello Ma'am,

In the absence of a fever, there is no need to worry at this time. If the tingling turns into a severe cough and the cough is accompanied by a fever, I recommend calling 1-877-644-4545. The staff on the other end of the line will direct you to the nearest screening clinic and make an appointment for you (this is why you should not go directly to the clinics).

Note that anyone who has been in close contact with someone who is recommended for screening should also be screened. By close contact, we mean that they have spent more than 4 hours in the same room as a person to be screened, or has been in direct contact (kissing, talking) with that person.

If you are recommended to go to a screening clinic, I would recommend that you get there without taking public transportation.

Happy day!
