Arrange testing: Please arrange a COVID 19 screening test locally, and please stay home, wear a mask while outside and use social distancing. While awaiting test results and if positive, please self isolate. Watch for symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath. Watch for signs of worsening, including shortness of breath.
