Get local referral: For many testing sites you can self refer for testing. Give the site a call as you may need an appointment time for your test. If requiring referrals. then call your own doctor or call local Health Department for testing referral. In the meantime, quarantine yourself until results are available. Drink plenty of fluids, rest and best of luck for you.

COVID 19 testing: Agree with Dr. Maes. In the US COVID 19 testing requirements vary significantly between states. Some places allow you to call in and schedule COVID testing, where as others require a medical referral for testing. Go to https://www.apple.com/covid19/ & choose your state's health department for specific guidance

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Contact your doctor/local hospital, by phone for evaluation and testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Get Covid vaccine. Wish you good health.
