Risk: High risk would be smoker, 60 or older and with medical conditions- heart, lung, kidney. If you are not having significant SOB self isolation best to do and treat for flu symtpoms-rest, fluids, tylenol or ibuprofen if needed. https://www.healthtap.com/blog/covid-19-care-guidelines/self-quarantine-guide. Tests are being reserved for those with significant symptoms.
