I would advise against it. If you have any doubt of corona, best would be to isolate yourself for 14 days and keep taking your medications. If more symptoms of corona like fever, sore throat, body ache, diarrhoea starts, then call the corona helpline. Going to hospitals for tests will increase your chances of contracting another infection.
Next Steps
isolate yourself for 14 days and wait for any symptoms to develop. Take the medicines as prescribed by your doctor
Health Tips
It is important to not panic if one or two of your symptoms match that of Covid.
