What to Do If You Think You Have Coronavirus

If you have respiratory symptoms, chances are you’re suffering from the flu. “If a child is sick with cough, fever, runny nose, and shortness of breath—and you're without any history of travel or exposure—the coronavirus isn’t a big concern," says Dr. DiCaprio. But if you’ve visited an affected area within the last 14 days—or if you’re in close contact with someone who has—you might have the coronavirus. According to the CDC, you should contact a healthcare provider and inform them of your travels. They’ll consult with public health department and the CDC, and then they'll decide if you need diagnostic testing for COVID-19.
