A girl I used to work with has been diagnosed with it. Im on day nine of being sick with something. I've seen two doctors who both think it night be corona, but their hospital policy at the time was not to test unless you've come into contact with someone known to be infected, or unless you've been out of the country. I've gotten better but still feeling pretty drained. So we're just under self quarantine.
Current policy locally based upon CDC guidelines and lack of tests is that you won’t be tested even if you come in contact with a confirmed case of Covid-19 unless you’re sick enough to be admitted. If you’re symptoms are mild to moderate the recommendations are treat your symptoms and self quarantine until symptom free.
Mayor along with public health department announced last week our district only received 30 tests. Don’t know if that means individual tests or test kits or how many tests are in a kit. But, we have a population of approximately 200K just in the city.
