And quarantine themselves.
Is it even necessary to get a test because even if positive there is nothing to treat it.

(3,264 posts)Im under 60, symptoms not severe, no known contact, and have not traveled out of the country, I dont meet the criteria. So, I was told no test and to stay at home for 14 days from when symptoms began and to call again if I get worse.
