When should I test for the Flu?

It’s hard to know when you are sick if you have Covid, a cold, or another virus like the flu. The sooner you know what type of illness you have, the faster you can get treated and on your way to recovery.

You may want to consider a Flu test if you are experiencing common symptoms of the seasonal flu including fever, dry cough, body aches, and can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, red eyes or a runny nose.

How is a flu test administered?
