A member asked:
My doctor is mainly doing video appointments. how can she be able to tell if my cold is coronavirus or not without seeing me in person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
She is not: The consult will only result in a decision to test or not to test for coronavirus. Have your temperature ready. The main benefit for you will be that in case you have a different condition, you will have it addressed.
