Hi ,

This afternoon I tested positive for covid 19. I wanted to share my symptoms in the hope it would be useful to any forum users in the future. I didn’t lose my sense of taste or smell. I experienced  lethargy, a chesty cough , an increase in temperature . I have phi with Salus so rang my doctor this morning & was tested this afternoon with my husband. The cost was 15 euros each , husbands test was negative. I did try the Valencia number I found online fir but because of my poor grasp of Spanish I didn’t get very far .

Hi Mags,

Sorry to hear you have tested positive.  

Do you have any idea of where or how you caught it?

It is good to know your PHI arranged your tests quickly and I do hope you will start to improve shortly.  

My mother who is 90 years old and in a nursing home in UK also caught covid and had mild symptoms which lasted about a week and I am pleased to say she is fully recovered and is having her vaccine on Sunday.

Thank you for sharing your symptoms because the more we all know the easier it is for us to take the necessary actions if it happens to us.

Get well soon and keep us all updated

Regards

Vivienne

Hi Vivienne , not sure where I caught it as I’m not sure how long ago I was exposed to it. Last Sunday I was at the Lemon Tree market & and on Mondays I volunteer in a charity shop. I’ve notified them & I understand the shop will close for 2 weeks .

Hi,, where did you get the tests done? I also work in a charity shop but we closed it 2 weeks ago as didn't feel safe, hopefully we will open again soon. Hope you recover quickly,
