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.

COVID testing: Negative test, went to isolation with grandparents, now coughing and runny nose. If he has not had an exposure, probably does not need another test although it may be of reassurance to all concerned. There is no role for antibiotics in COVID or viral infection.
