And now she is sick as well. It started with a slightly sore throat, and then continued with headache, tiredness, mild fever, and a general feeling of being unwell and achy.<\/p>\n<p>The current procedure is that everyone with symptoms of possible covid-19 infection should get tested. In Stockholm you can either make your way to a drive-in testing station, or get a DIY test delivered home. We went the home testing route.<\/p>\n<p>The process was very smooth. You book online, and a few hours later a test is delivered to your door. You get 15 minutes to take the test, and then the courier comes back to pick up the little test tube with your sample.<\/p>\n<p>Ingrid took the test in the middle of the day and late this evening she already got the result. Negative.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an odd coincidence that she would get some other respiratory infection just as she has been exposed to someone who has been exposed&#8230; or perhaps this was a false negative. Who knows. But lacking any other information, I guess we&#8217;ll have to trust the test.<\/p>\n<p>And now my own throat is feeling a bit sore. We&#8217;ve been trying to keep Ingrid at more of a distance than usual, but we&#8217;re still in the same rooms, breathing the same air, so it&#8217;s hard to not infect each other with whatever it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingrid found out this weekend that one of the friends she hangs out with is unwell, and his mother has tested positive for covid-19.
