Testing is ...: Testing is appropriate to be sure of status and help protect others. Meanwhile stay away from Cold Foods/Drinks Use Warm or Hot Foods/Drinks, & Ibuprofen/Aleve for fever/headache/other body aches/pain. Add Supplements like Zinc, Vitamin D, C & E and continue all the WHO/CDC recommended precautions. Finally see Doctor if a cough/ breathing issues are not relived by the Asthma/ Ventolin inhaler

COVID 19: Because incubation period for COVID 19 can be up to 14 days & you have symptoms you can likely either quarantine or obtain a medical assessment to request referral for COVID 19 testing referral.
