Yes: You may have had contact with someone who has Coronavirus and testing is recommended. Typically there is a dry cough and fever associated. While being tested, influenza testing may be performed at the same time. If you develop shortness of breath, please see a physician. Stay home, rest, drink fluids and continue to monitor for fever.
