COVID-19 Testing/URI: I understand your need for COVID-19 Testing at home. Let Wise man within you ask: • Degree of concern of symptoms, “i have a scratchy throat dry cough an fatigue. I also feel warm” • Other medical conditions causing these symptoms • Precautions and Treatment for the above • Need for having full Diagnosis • It is ok to wait until your GP is available for Diagnosis, COVID-19 Testing; and Treatment.

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.
