Risk/stay home: You may have COVID 19 infection or influenza. Please have a screening test for both. Check with your local health department for testing sites. Watch for symptoms including shortness of breath, fever, chills and worsening cough. If these occur, please see the Emergency department. In the meantime, monitor your temperature, avoid Motrin, use Tylenol for fever control, drink fluids and rest.
