Frequently Ask Questions

Q: What should I do if I am experiencing any of the Covid-19 symptoms?

A: If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, call your primary care physician to request testing. Your primary care provider will decide whether you need to be tested and can order a test without approval from the Department of Health. Keep in mind that there is no treatment for COVID-19 and people who are mildly ill may be able to isolate and care for themselves at home.

Only patients who are in respiratory distress need to visit a local emergency center for testing. Your primary care provider should call ahead to notify the emergency center of your need for testing.

If you do not have a primary care provider, please call the TMH Transition Center at 850-431-4470. They can help to connect you with a medical provider or other appropriate resources.

While health experts are working around the clock to learn more about COVID-19, you can also stay informed as new information becomes available.
