Testing: The testing for acute illness is a nasal swab for PCR testing usually. If you have COVID 19 symptoms, please stay at home, drink fluids, monitor your temperature and avoid contact with others. Watch for worsening or rapidly progressive symptoms. If PCR testing is not available ( please check with the Public Health Department or local medical center), then the presence of antibodies may be measured
