Covid-19 -vs- Allergies
Spring is in the air. Both seasonal allergies and COVID-19 can cause cough, fatigue, and headache, but fever and chills are more common with COVID-19. Use this chart to learn more similarities and differences between COVID-19 and allergies.
Testing helps to save lives and livelihoods: reduces transmission; breaks the chain of infection; improved targeting and monitoring of Covid-19 strategy, surveillance.
Testing and vaccinations are complimentary strategies (not an either-or scenario)
Testing is still needed to protect against new variants, reinfection, and as a tool to help manage reopening.
FREE COVID-19 testing, Thursday - Monday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Appointments available at https://lhi.care/covidtesting or call 1-888-634-1123
