If your child is coughing, complaining of a sore throat, and has a runny nose, it may be a good idea to call a designated hotline for COVID-19 testing. The staff will guide you to the nearest testing clinic and schedule an appointment if necessary. It is important not to show up at clinics without an appointment. Additionally, anyone who has been in close contact with someone recommended for testing should also get tested. Close contact means spending more than 4 hours in the same room or having direct contact (such as kissing or conversations) with the person being tested. If you are advised to go to a testing clinic, it is recommended to avoid taking public transportation.
