Testing: Nowadays the recommendation is to get tested as this helps in contact tracing as well. If you're positive or were exposed, , isolate for 14 days and no symptoms for at least 3 days. I recommend gargling with warm salt water, sucking on zinc lozenges and taking vitamin D which may ward off the covid virus or help symptoms .

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. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
