COVID-9 Testing: I understand your distress due to possibility of COVID-19. You do not need a referral for COVID-19 Testing. Call Department of Health in your Area of residence or work for Testing. Discuss with them about symptoms of COVID-19. For “shortness of breath and sore throat”, ask them to arrange to see a Physician for Diagnosis and Treatment. Then follow their Recommendations. Your Health is Precious!
