COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and Testing

If you develop symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throad, new loss of taste or smell), the State of Massachusetts has a resource that you can use to assess your symptoms and find the right care: www.buoy.com/mass. In addition, you can always call 2-1-1, a 24 hour hotline.

If you think you have symptoms, the first thing to do is call your health care provider and they will either test you or provide a referral for testing.

However, immediately seek medical attention if you are having trouble breathing, have persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion or inability to arouse, and/or have bluish lips or face.
