I need to know if i should have a covid test done?

Covid testing: Covid tests should be done a) 4 days after you have been exposed to a person who has tested positive for Covid-19 b) if you will be traveling and the airline or destination requires it, or c) if you have symptoms and need to differentiate between a cold/flu and Covid-19. Most Testing locations require a Dr referral. These can be obtained via telemedicine consult or in person consult.

COVID 19 testing?: I agree with Dr. Kratzberg. Have you had any COVID 19 contacts? Do you have possible COVID 19 sxs ? COVID 19 sx’s: dry cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, nasal congestion, sneezing, fever, headache, sore throat, feeling tired, loss of sense of taste/smell, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, chills & muscle aches.

Agree with Dr. F: 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.
