Can I go directly to the emergency room or do I need to take a screening test to access the emergency room?

If you are wondering whether you can go directly to the emergency room or if you need to undergo a screening test to gain access, it is recommended to first calculate your modified CENTOR score. If your score is 3 or higher, you will likely need to have a strep test done, which may require a COVID screening beforehand. If your score is 2 or lower, it is advised to hydrate, rest, and avoid irritating foods for a few days until your symptoms improve.
