Symptomatic?: Most testing places are only testing if you are symptomatic, even if you are a health care provider. The recommendation is to self-quarantine for 14 days and if you are still asymptomatic, you may return to work, probably with proper PPE. If you are symptomatic, contact your healthcare provider, who should be able to direct you to the proper place.
