If you feel sick with a fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell and have been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19, or if you live in or have recently traveled to an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19 you should call your primary health care provider. Your primary health care provider will work with the state’s public health department and CDC to determine if you need to be tested for COVID-19.
