COVID testing: Can't tell what country you are in or what state.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. Some states require a doctor's referral and others don't. People can call their health care provider if they believe they should be tested.

Agree with Dr. F: Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing . Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.

Keep isolated : You should keep away from others, meaning don't leave a room for now. You can use telemedicine to get help with testing
