It was at this point Kaylee decided to consult medical professionals. However, her healthcare providers advised that she need not be tested because her symptoms were mild.

Soon after, she got a call from her healthcare provider telling her that they would like to test her because of where she’s been — she tested positive. Kaylee further explained some of her symptoms, saying:
