What a dilemma, Dilly.
If you have doubts at all, you cannot go to work unless you get a test.
How can you put other people's lives at risk?
That's a good idea to phone NHS for advice.
Hopefully it will be negative.

The main symptoms are a high temperature, a new dry continuous cough (or three coughing episodes in 24 hours) and a loss of the sense of taste or smell.
If you are unsure the NHS website says ring 111 and ask their advice.

Please don't risk other people's health.

Please, please don't.

You really need to go for a test, Dilly
I hope you get a quick result and it's not COVID.

Has anyone had covid - I have a wee hoarse throat, swollen glands and the occasional shiver - is that how it starts? I’m supposed to be leading a group activity for work and not sure if the ethical thing to do is cancel, but I don’t have the cough or fever.
My friends said don’t lose the extra away pay and do it, but I thought I’d come here for a more nuanced opinion. flowers
