Should I get a covid test?

2021-05-12 05:42:08
I have been feeling very tired since a week now, with body pain and headache. Since yesterday my throat feels achy and have a little bit of fever. I took paracetemol last night, but I still don't feel okay. I havent been out of the house in a long time, so I am not really sure is this just viral or if I need to get covid test. Please advice
