COVID 19 testing: Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. This could be COVID 19 or from other causes. If you live in ZA will need provider referral to test. Policies differ by state in the USA.
