I would order a test for SARS-CoV-2. I have had many patients in my hotspot of Fairfield County, CT who have had any variety of atypical symptoms that don't fit the classic fever, chills, dry cough, SOB criteria who tested positive for Covid-19. A few case reports have shown people to carry the novel corona virus for up to 50 days from onset of symptoms.

I spoke with a man whom I believe had Covid-19 in early March. He had traveled to NYC and his illness was consistent. He recovered fully, but has experienced two episodes of high fevers and shaking chills lasting only about thirty minutes if treated with Tylenol.He says he feels a bit tired, but otherwise well. Has anyone seen this phenomenon or is this a red herring?
