Coronavirus update: know where to go

Where do I go if I think I may have Coronavirus?
First, don’t panic. Your symptoms could be allergies, common cold, or flu — but it’s best to be sure. You have a few different options for receiving care.

If you’re showing symptoms, such as fever and cough, the safest place to be — for you and for everyone else — is in your home.

Contact your primary care physician.


They can help you get a Coronavirus test at the right location if they determine you need one and prescribe medications as well. (No doctor? Visit an urgent care — but call in advance to let them know you’re coming and why.)


emergency icon
In case of medical emergency, call 911


That means difficulty breathing or another emergency medical condition. Call the ER so they can prepare for your arrival and limit your exposure to others.
