A week ago, I felt like I have sore throat with no fever. The next day, I had stuffed nose.
By Friday, I had cold/flu symptoms with lose of taste and smell but no fever.
I checked in the nearest COVID-19 testing facility (PrimaCare Clinic) and after 4hrs in-line, I tested negative for both flu and COVID-19. The swab was taken from the frontal lobe of the nose. Diagnosis was Common cold.
I stayed home and took Theraflu day/nigh pills. The cold symptoms are subsiding but the taste and smell is not back.

Should I do another COVID test?
Problem is you may already be over it. You might consider getting a blood test for antibodies just to see if you had it. If so it’s highly likely you’re immune at least for a while. Then you could wait longer with less worry for a vaccine if you choose to get one.
