ZA or USA?: I can’t tell where you are from. If from South Africa, contact PCM who will assess &amp; make determination about COVID 19 testing. USA – policies vary by state. State &amp; local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions. Some states require a dr.'s referral &amp; some don't. Can call PCM if one believes they should be tested.

Social distance: Maintain an isolation area of your home where your husband may stay for 2 weeks, if possible. Watch for signs of illness. If symptoms occur, test and continue to isolate.
