Narrative:
On [date]; on my last flight of the night I thought I may have experienced some very mild symptoms of being ill. In the past; I have experienced mild symptoms before and have felt 100 percent better the next day. The next day; I reported for a two day trip and felt absolutely fine to work. Again; I felt completely fine to work; and I would never deliberately go to work while feeling sick. After my trip was completed; I experienced symptoms of being ill; and decided to set up a covid test. I took my covid test and received a positive test result. I have been quarantining since I took the test.I believe that not flying while possibly being ill would prevent this from happening again. If I could do things differently; I would not have flown with the possibility of being sick.
