Thank you for asking question.

I understand about your concern regarding your risk of COVID19 infection. Based on your symptoms of difficulty breathing, cough, runny nose and on off fever, you may want to answer the quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate your health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories as follows:

  1. Low risk: you need to perform self-quarantine at home for at least 14 days. You also need to monitor your health such as taking his temperature and look out for any COVID-19 symptoms like coughing, fever, and shortness of breath.
  2. Moderate risk: You have to visit the nearest healthcare facility to obtain further confirmation.
  3. High risk: You need to visit your nearest healthcare facility immediately. If you are confirmed with COVID-19, you will be referred to a specific hospital and receive further treatment there. You will also be quarantined at the healthcare facility for surveillance.
    Please act according to your risk.
