COVID-19 Is Still Around: What to Watch For & How to Protect Yourself

While daily life may feel back to normal, COVID-19 has not gone away. Cases still occur year-round, and staying informed is key to protecting yourself, your family, and your community.

At White Rock Multispecialty Clinic located in East Dallas, we’re here to provide accessible testing, urgent care, and guidance when you need it most.

Common COVID-19 Symptoms to Watch For

COVID-19 symptoms can range from mild to more severe and may appear 2–5 days after exposure.

Be aware of:

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Fatigue
• Body aches
• Headache
• Congestion or runny nose
• Loss of taste or smell
• Shortness of breath

Symptoms can feel similar to a cold or flu, which is why testing is important to confirm what you’re dealing with.

When Should You See a Doctor?

You should seek medical care if:

• Your symptoms are worsening or not improving
• You have a high fever that won’t go down
• You experience difficulty breathing
• You are in a higher-risk group (underlying conditions, elderly, immunocompromised)

If you experience severe symptoms, seek emergency care immediately.

Why Testing Still Matters

Even if your symptoms are mild, getting tested helps prevent the spread to others.

Testing allows you to:

• Confirm whether it’s COVID-19 or another illness
• Take the right precautions to protect others
• Receive appropriate care and guidance

Staying home when sick and knowing your status can make a big difference in protecting your community.

How to Protect Yourself & Others

Simple steps can still go a long way:

• Wash your hands regularly
• Stay home if you’re feeling sick
• Cover coughs and sneezes
• Avoid close contact when symptomatic
• Stay up to date with recommended vaccinations
