Referral not needed: Testing will not change the treatment if you have Covid. Since there is no medication yet for Covid-19 except in severe cases where the patient is hospitalized, you should stay home, isolate and use Acetaminophen for Headache/body pain, drink lots of fluids, and get lots of rest. See a Dr if you have difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, blue lips, low oxygen or new onset confusion.
