Question : I was tested for covid last week along with my husband and children because a coworker of mine tested positive. We all came back negative and have been quarantining since. I started vomiting and diarrhoea yesterday. Could this just be a coincidence or should I go and get tested again?

Brief Answer:
I can't find it related to covid19.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

I think you don't need to get retested.
I believe that having only vomiting and diarrhea can't make me think that you may have covid19.
It can be related to food poisoning, eating some rotten food or gastrointestinal tract infection.
You can use more water and fluids to keep hydrated.
Use probiotics such enterogerina or yovita to re-establish the intestinal flora.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
