Flu like illness: If you have a flu like illness, stay home, rest, drink fluids and monitor your temperature. If you have worsening, please your PCP. Watch for shortness of breath and if this occurs, please contact a physician for testing. If you have risk factors for COVID 19 and/or a chronic condition, testing is indicated.
