Yes/isolate: A test may be obtained to confirm whether you have current COVID 19 infection. Continue to self isolate for at least 14 days from time of contact and monitor for changes. If you have difficulty breathing, please see the Emergency Department. Tylenol rather than Motrin may be used to control fever.

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.
