Maybe. Do video w/Dr: COVID-19 pandemic at this time, so a doctor on video may consult by video instead of requiring an in-person visit. Flu-like symptoms can be from a strep throat infection, a cold or influenza, or from some other cause like COVID-19. Usually, stomach flu (vomiting, diarrhea) are other stomach infections instead of COVID-19. COVID-19 testing depends on local availability. (3/22/20)
