Symptoms & what to do:
If you are having symptoms that are mild, such as fever, congestion, or body aches, please call a doctor before going to the ER. You may be able to be sent to a tent for testing, which is preferable to coming to the ER. If you do not have a doctor / Primary Care Physician (PCP), can call Johns Hopkins to get guidance on testing at 443-997-9537.
