Get tested
While testing conversations tend to pertain to COVID-19 recently, you can get tested for the flu. If you suspect you are sick or have been exposed to someone who is sick, get tested for the flu. If you have to go to a crowded place where social distancing isn’t possible, get tested before being around other groups. Many individuals felt sick in 2020 and tested negative for COVID-19, assumed they were perfectly healthy, and continued to socialize. However, they may have had the flu and didn’t know it. While in previous years, we may not have gotten tested for the flu if we were sick and just assumed it was the flu, the COVID-19 virus complicates matters. So it is important to get tested for the flu if you test negative for COVID-19 and feel sick.
