I am worried that my husband has the corona virus- he has no temperature but a head cold that has gone to his throat- he has had diarrhea which we think was induced from vitamin c- please could you let me know if he should see a doctor thank you?

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Your husband's symptoms warrant testing. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
