Treat symptoms: If infected with Covid-19, symptoms can begin anywhere from day 3 to day 8. Look for fever/chills, dry cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle/body aches, headache, loss of taste/smell, sore throat. Testing will not change treatment. Self isolate for 14 days to prevent spreading the disease. See a Dr for worsening difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion and blue lips.

Let contacts know: In addition to following Dr. Kratzberg's advice for your health,depending on where you live and how many cases of Covid there are there,testing can be helpful for others and to help contain community spread,by using contact tracing when someone tests positive,so that others can be notified and be advised to self-isolate.Many communities have local testing sites that you can go to.
