They last worked there last Sunday. I have gone there for my lunch every day including Sunday I think.
I am trying to get tested.
I have had a runny nose, and slight cough for a month.
I assume it was allergies, which seem to get worse every year.
I feel fine otherwise.
I will keep updating this as my day progresses.
Calling UW Medicine now.
I want tested.

COVID-19 is a lower respiratory tract infection, which means that most of the symptoms are felt in the chest and lungs. Thats different from colds that bring on an upper respiratory tract infection, where you get a runny nose and sinus congestion. Those symptoms seem to be mostly absent for people with COVID-19, though theyre not unheard of.

(28,793 posts)question: has the deli closed for a deep clean? are the people this person worked with quarantined?
i hope you will be able to get a test. In NC you would not be able to get one except through your doctor at a commercial lab.

(28,793 posts)I would expect that there will be a complete disinfecting, and hopefully all of their customers and employees have been made aware of the situation. I'm gathering this is on a university campus?

Keep taking temperature.
Went to pharmacy to get prescription for cough and bought their last thermometer. A girl came up and asked for a thermometer. They told her sold out. I felt bad and let her use mine. She was ok. I have alcohol swsbs. Will clean.
My temp is ok.
