Fevers?: If you are not having any fevers, there may be no need to check. If your cough and ache was around before the virus, Early February, then you should still get a chest xray and check for possible allergies. Good Luck.

COVID 19: The CDC has provided guidelines for COVID 19 testing at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/hcp/clinical-criteria.html. However, state & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions. People should call their health care provider if they believe they should be tested.
