This will help providers have the appropriate tests on-hand and prepare the clinic to keep others from getting infected or exposed.

If you are feeling sick, we also recommend reaching out to a doctor via video or app, like with Carbon Health, Teladoc or Doctor on Demand, to get your questions answered from the comfort and safety of your home.
