This self-assessment tool, developed with the MidSouth Pain, will help determine whether you may need further assessment or testing for COVID-19. You can complete this assessment for yourself, or on behalf of someone else.
If you have respiratory symptoms and a serious ongoing condition or are in the third trimester of pregnancy, please follow the advice of your specialist.
Most people do not need to be tested for COVID-19 because it will not change your care.
People who do not need to be tested for COVID-19 include:
– People without symptoms
– People who have mild respiratory symptoms that can be managed at home
– Returning travelers
Who should be tested for COVID-19?
People with respiratory symptoms who may require testing for COVID-19 include people who are:
– Hospitalized, or likely to be hospitalized
– Health Care Workers
– Residents of long-term care facilities
– Part of an investigation of a cluster or outbreak
Anyone who has symptoms – including a fever, cough, sneezing, or sore throat – should self-isolate for 10 days. Continue to complete this assessment to determine if you may need care.
