Should I be tested for the Coronavirus? I've had a fever since last night, I'm aching all over and I don't have any cough or difficulty breathing.

Question

I was in contact with a baby at the daycare who had a fever and a big cough. He just came back from a trip (Cuba). It's been 14 days since Friday March 13th. His fever started on Tuesday the 10th. I have many cases of pneumonia (3) out of 10 in my group and (4) who have fever. And many cases of influenza in my daycare.

Hello Ma'am, In this case, it is best to 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 that you call 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 (which 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. On the day of your appointment, I recommend that you get there without taking public transportation. Have a great day! Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
