Do you suspect you have been infected?
If you suspect that you may have been infected by the Corona virus, you must call instead of going to see your GP or going to the ER.
Criteria for being tested
Those who are in self-quarantine at home will not be tested and should not contact the health service – unless they need health services. Testing is restricted to certain patient groups and health personnel who have symptoms of respiratory disorders.

Call your regular GP

Call the ER for emergency health assistance
