In general, people who have symptoms should act as if they have COVID-19 and stay home (isolate) for five days rather than getting tested. If after five days, they have no fever and are feeling better, they can return to society but wear a mask for an additional five days. 
 
Most people do not need to get a test during this period of high infections and scarce testing supplies.

However, those who should continue to get a test include:

  • Those with significant underlying conditions. Getting tested gives these people a chance to get treatment with the limited number of medications that work and also let them know if something besides COVID might be causing their illness.
  • Elderly
  • Those who work with vulnerable populations:
  • Healthcare workers
  • Long-term care facility employees
  • People living or working in congregate settings including prisons and homeless shelters
  • If you’re going to visit someone who is vulnerable (for example people over 75 years, immunocompromised, receiving immunosuppressive medication) 
  • If you’ve been sick but are getting better and want to confirm you are negative
  • If you’re traveling somewhere that requires a negative test
