Trying to get #COVD19 test after learning a person who I had close contact with was in close contact with a person who tested positive. @_DCHealth Department told me I didn’t meet its standards for a test since my symptoms (cough, shortness of breath) aren’t severe enough @wusa9 So called my doc and they sent me to urgent care to get a test. Bizarre scene. Packed waiting room, everyone wearing masks along with staff. Already heard another woman arguing over not being given #coronavirus test because her symptoms not severe enough, will I get same answer?
