When the only symptom is sore throat?

Do you people just randomly post anything, to confuse other people?

+1DC also got THIS! The school is a breeding ground.

It's called not being a twat when being quiet is free. Ever heard of it?

Yep. Obviously not what OP has, but norovirus is surging in the Northeast right now. Wash your hands, people.

Norovirus

I recently had a terrible sore throat. It was the worst I’ve ever had. It did turn out to be Covid. If you only tested once, I’d retest. It’s definitely still going around. We also heard that strep is making the rounds.

two coworkers tested + for COVID after about 3-4 days of sore throat, headache, and congestion, were out of work for 3-4 days. They didn't test + at first when sick but later the tests were + for COVID.

I work with these people; I came down with sore throat, headache and congestion as well as general tiredness for four days. I tested for COVID once while sick, but it was neg. I recovered over the weekend, went back to work, and saw my colleagues who had been out before me - that's when one of them told me it had bee Covid + for her.

I tested another time (since I have an at risk spouse) but it was negative again. I'm better now, just some coughing. But my immune compromised spouse now has my symptoms, only worse... bad headache for 2-3 days, a LOT of congestion and sore throat. He tested - for COVID the first time we tested but after 6 days (still a lot of symptoms) he is + for COVID. Headache gone but lots of congestion, coughing, and sore throat, general feeling of malaise.

So... for us 4, three tested + for COVID eventually, but I did not... stopped after 2 tests for me though because why bother?

It could be Covid. You need to wait a bit longer before testing.
