Sorry to hear that Svanada in Fronfria today at meal English lady said she had covid in Pamplona had to isolate for 5 days still coughing not pleasant. Have you self tested. Best of luck and health.Anyone knows whom to contact to get a doctors appointment in Pamplona?
I am not fit for walking at all and don’t want to spread the disease to other pilgrims. So I just move around in Pamplona to different hostels with private rooms.
I really need medical advice and maybe some medicines.
I prefer getting to a place where they accept EU sanitary card.

This.First of all go to a pharmacy in the neighbourhood. They will have selftests or maybe even equipped to perform an antigentest on you.
They will tell you what to do afterwards. They can also estimate the seriousness of your illness and send you to a clinic.
Thank youThe place you are staying in should be able to recommend a clinic. Be sure to tell them that you are a pilgrim. The pharmacy/chemists are very good at providing medicines (without prescriptions). If you are really sick then they also can recommend a medical clinic. Best of luck, being sick on the camino is no fun. Cheers
I carried a selftest from home and I do not have Covid. But still not feeling good. I will stay one more night in Pamplona. If not feeling better tomorrow I will go looking for a doctor.Sorry to hear. First of all go to a pharmacy in the neighbourhood.

Quick healing.
I would have loved staying in one place BUT the room situation in Pamplona has forced me to move every day. Weekend not being the best time.This.
And as much as you can, staying in one place, resting and healing in prviate accomodation.
As you say, you don't want to spread whatever it is. And moving form one place to another wears you down, too.
May you (and all around you) be well!
I have and I don’t have Covid but still a bad cough and a bad cold.Sorry to hear that Svanada in Fronfria today at meal English lady said she had covid in Pamplona had to isolate for 5 days still coughing not pleasant. Have you self tested. Best of luck and health.
Perhaps you might need some antibiotics. Another reason to see a doctor ASAP.I have and I don’t have Covid but still a bad cough and a bad cold.
Retest in a couple of days. Sorry to say my daughter’s Covid started with a hacking cough but did not test positive until three days later. Better safe than sorry. Wishing you a speedy recovery and return to the Camino.I have and I don’t have Covid but still a bad cough and a bad cold.
Ask where the closest Centro de Salud is. With a EU health card you will be attended to without a fee. I've done this on several Caminos. Care was excellent.I have and I don’t have Covid but still a bad cough and a bad cold.
It's good to know that some of what's going around are garden variety colds and not Covid, but it's never fun to be sick on the Camino.I had a terrible cold in Pamplona which turned out not to be Covid. I went to a pharmacy got some fizzy vitamin tabs, covid tests and advice on OTC meds.
My son and wife tested positive last weekend. I had similar symptoms but tested negative five times over three days, then changed the brand of rapid test and tested positive later same day. I think rapid tests are not 100% accurate or maybe I wasn't doing it correctly.Retest in a couple of days. Sorry to say my daughter’s Covid started with a hacking cough but did not test positive until three days later. Better safe than sorry. Wishing you a speedy recovery and return to the Camino.
Honestly I think you need a PCR test. I had CoVid ( not on the Camino) and tested negative with a home test but still feeling sick went two days later to get a PCR test and it was positive . Either way, you need rest and better drugs. And a more professional opinion than a home test. Feel better!!Anyone knows whom to contact to get a doctors appointment in Pamplona?

I was to the Farmacia today and got some new drugs. Already feeling better. I have 4 shots of Biontech and I recognize my symptoms from earlier colds this winter. Did a lot of PCR tests at those times.Honestly I think you need a PCR test.

I have been staying in Pamplona for five days keeping to myself in a private room and wearing a mask when meeting people. I would say that is exactly what people with Covid are told to do, so …..Why not get a PCR test, @svanada ?
They are so easy to get.
There's no way any of us know from wishful thinking whether we actually have covid or a cold. And if you do, you are endangering others, regardless of how ok you feel.
My cold is not improving so today I go visit a doctor and let him decide what to do, Booked two more nights in Pamplona. This is getting expensive and will mean that my pilgrimage isn’t going to be completed. Feels somewhat unfair since I have caught whatever it is here on the Camino. Must begin to look for parts to jump. 7-10 days. Any suggestions?Why not get a PCR test, @svanada ?

I feel for you @svanada I would just add that the other reason for people to try to get the more accurate (pcR) tests done as soon as possible after onset of any symptoms (whether the rapid self test is negative or positive ) is that if you don’t feel better and end up taking an offical test days or even a week after symptoms, and it’s positive, the isolation clock will run from the day of the test.I have been staying in Pamplona for five days keeping to myself in a private room and wearing a mask when meeting people.

We have just been through this with my husband after walking Chemin du Piémont. We had rapid test with us but also sought tests by the pharmacist within 12 hours of first symptoms. It could have been just a cold - but If one or both of us had covid we wanted to know asap. My husband was positive so his (and my) isolation began straight away - and now we are free to continue, though still being prudent around others
Wishing you all the best.
If you lose a week, jump to Santo Domingo or Belorado. Two, go to Sahagun or Leon.Must begin to look for parts to jump. 7-10 days. Any suggestions?
Actually I was at the hospital today and they tested a lot of parameters including Covid and everything was OK. I feel much better and will be able to start walking again tomorrow.If you lose a week, jump to Santo Domingo or Belorado. Two, go to Sahagun or Leon.
