Headache and mild stuffed nose.
Yesterday, I got in contact with a friend who gave a covid test yesterday later in the evening as someone from his office tested positive. I am having headaches since evening (I took a dolo tablet)
and headache + mild stuffed nose when I woke up today morning. Please advise if I should also give a covid test. Any suggestions for precautions will be of great help as I am unable to take a single day holiday.
Thank you.
PS: I am fully vaccinated.
