It depends...: Due to limited availability of covid testing, you probably wouldn’t meet criteria for testing, unless you develop fever or cough, and you have chronic health problems or have been possibly exposed to covid. Seek care right away if difficulty breathing or severe symptoms. Seek online or phone consultation otherwise, to avoid exposure. Ultimately, patients who need treatment will have lung symptoms

Only GI Sx's?: Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: fever of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. You might just have a viral gastroenteritis. Call your doctor & discuss your sx's.
