We have community transmission in my county but we don't know where. does that mean anyone in the county who develops symptoms should be tested?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Person to person: The covid virus can spread via droplets released by a person who is infected while coughing, sneezing or even talking. Typically a person who develops symptoms is quarantined. Ideally everyone would be tested, but testing is typically undertaken only if the person has symptoms requiring medical attention. Not possible to pinpoint exactly where there are infected people, so self protect w/ mask
