My family member tested positive for a third time. Still in the hospital but middle level - not on a ventilator. Has a window now so the family can go wave at them and they see it. Not alone.

My husband is very high risk (85 with COPD and heart single bypass last summer). I’m 59 and no health issues. I’ve been wondering if there is any reason to get tested. I’ve been super cautious, rarely go out, but I did have to go to the dentist a couple of weeks ago. I have no significant symptoms but do show a slight fever at 37.6c on and off. Though I. Not terribly confident in my touch less thermometer as it various noticeably If you take your temp a second time within a minute or two later. 🙂

We have 3 to 10 days here but we aren't a clinic - is that the difference?? It's so confusing.
