Covid risk

[Fasterkin122]

I had a thai massage by a thai girl in india  on 10 of this month with  lot of kissing and she was close to me on my face and speaking, can i be infected with covid.

Can you be infected? Yes. Given the fact that it is highly infectious.

The question is are you infected? You might be, only if you are displaying relevant symptoms. Below are a few common ones FYI:
-cough
-fever
-tiredness
-difficulty breathing (severe cases)

If either of the above listed has been your complain in the 14 days from the date of exposure, you need to isolate yourself from others. 80% of the infected population recover with out any special treatment. In case your symptoms get adverse, reach out to a doctor immediately.

If you didn't exhibit any of them, you are fine. Stay away from such excursions at this point. Since you are in India, the government has imposed a lockdown. Therefore, you need to stay at home now.

Thank you sir, i had no symptoms in 14 days period now occasionally i have some breathing difficulty now and then, do i need to isolate or do covid test or any x rays.

If you had no other symptoms and you are here thinking whether you had difficulty in breathing, you most likely didn't have it. I feel you are anxious like several others about this disease. Perhaps, you should isolate yourself at this point, if your difficulty in breathing persists for another day or two see a doctor about it.

I just figured that you are in healthcare and that must make you come in close contact with several individuals on a daily basis. If you are feeling shortness of breath, you can go see a doctor. If recommended to test, you can reach out to Metropolis labs, Metropolis has been approved by the Government of India for COVID-19 test. Sample Home collection can happen ONLY if prescribed by a qualified physician for COVID-19 test.
