About self-isolation: The goal in COVID-19 is to keep people separated so that the clinics and hospitals are not overwhelmed. Patients with medical symptoms should see their primary care doctor on VIDEO or by PHONE, and get instructed to go to a clinic or ER only if not treatable by video or phone. Symptoms of COVID-19 are usually the same as a cold or the flu. With no symptoms, self-quarantine for 2-3 weeks does help.
