Convid-19 inquiries

Hi Doctor, I have a on and off slight fever, cough, flu and breathing difficulties, but its getting better for all except for the breathing part. I went to see the first doctor saying its sinus and I got 1 day Medical Leave for that, following day I went to office but my office management request me to go for blood test because I keep on coughing, and went to see 2nd doctor saying its tonsil & asthma, thats why I have a slight fever&cough and I was informed my respiratory tract slightly tight and I was given Neb and given another 2 days of Medical Leave. Then the doctor said, I do not have to do any test and they do not offer such services and she mentioned that is not necessary to do the test cause I don’t meet the criteria, might as well we prioritize those who meet the criteria first and I agreed with the advice but I am still having breathing difficulties today and on off slight fever, therefore is necessary for me to do the test?
