PCP or Health Dept.: If you don’t have a primary care doctor, you can reach out to your local city, county, or state health department for advice on where to be tested. Your best bet is your most local health department.

USA?: 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. Can use "Talk -To- Doctor" on HealthTap.
