Sore throat with white sputum
Hi Good evening Dr. Currently I’m 21 weeks pregnant and I’m working in the clinic of private hospital. Today I have mild sore throat with little amount of white sputum. Shall I proceed to have the test of Covid 19? (I Had contacted with Non-Malaysian patient and also wearing the surgical mask while I work. Last Sunday I went to the supermarket without the mask and there’s a crowd at the market)
