Tesing: Follow the following guidelines: https://www.healthtap.com/blog/covid-19-care-guidelines/self-quarantine-guide Call your local provider or Health department. At 36 you would be considered low risk for serious infection. The test in itself does not lead to a specific action and the tests are numbered. So at this time the tests are limited and being used for sicker patients.
