Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

What state ???: Not enough info. CDC guidelines for COVID 19 testing are 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 dr's referral & others don't. People can call their health care provider if they believe they should be tested.

Dr Veres and another doctor agreed
