If she doesnt have covid contact history then it is most likely typhoid and there is no need to get any covid test done. If you still wish You can get a rtpcr or rat to rule it out. For full guidance, prescription and follow up take a paid instant consultation. Hope that helps. You can even video consult directly via what sapp on 9999x104x408
