Yes: It is important to find out if you do or don't have COVID 19, so you won't transmit disease to others.

Testing is recommended per CDC guidelines and local public health measures. For testing sites, please ask your PCP and locate a site online. Discuss common cold remedies, rest, and stay well hydrated. Watch for signs of worsening cough and distress. If these occur, please seek medical attention.
