Would you get tested?

Question

I work as a CNA and just found out I worked with some Monday and a few days last week who tested positive for Covid. I have no symptoms. However out of no where my 3 month old got a small fever yesterday and wouldn’t eat and was very cranky. Took him to the dr and they didn’t test him because I didn’t know and she said he looked good 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Yes you should be tested and if your baby is still showing symptoms, they should test the baby as well

Answer

My doctor advised me not to get tested if I'm not showing symptoms. Better to stay in and quarantine

Answer

While you should get tested, I might wait a few more days. It usually takes longer to feel Covid or to even get a positive test result.

Answer

Get tested! Better to know than not so you can then take the next steps to protect baby

Answer

I’m assuming you wear mask and proper ppe is necessary so I wouldn’t be too worried unless say you ate lunch with that person and we’re within six feet for fifteen minutes not masked. My husband is a first responder so has been with covid patients numerous times this year but has never even had a scare thanks to taking the proper precautions.
