@AprilDawn45 @GovRaimondo @mcdonald Hope you're feeling better now. We are expanding testing capabilities. If you had symptoms similar to COVID-19, you should assume it was COVID-19 and self-quarantine for 14 days from the time you started to have those symptoms. You can call your primary care provider to discuss.

@kitkatkatie0911 You may have a primary care dr. listed on your insurance card. If so, call that person, tell them your symptoms, and ask for an over-the-phone screening for COVID-19. If the doctor determines you should be tested for COVID-19, he will call RIDOH, who will tell him a test site.

@molly_odell People who are showing symptoms need to call their doctor. Tell the doctor your symptoms and he will decide if you need to get tested. If you do, he will tell you where to go to get tested. Generally, children have mild symptoms much like the regular flu.
