What to Do If You Think You’re Sick
If you feel sick and have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing, you may be concerned about whether you have COVID-19. Your decision on whether to seek medical care should not change just because of this new virus. And individuals cannot be tested upon request for COVID-19 to rule it out as the cause of illness. If you’re feeling ill, but otherwise would not have sought medical care, it’s best for you to stay at home.
If you decide to seek medical care for suspected coronavirus/COVID-19, please use Norton eCare for a virtual visit with a Norton Healthcare provider from your mobile phone or computer. Sign in to MyNortonChart to get started. If you don’t have a MyNortonChart account, sign up at NortonHealthcare.com/MyNortonChart. Norton eCare providers will screen you and determine the next steps in your treatment, much like an office visit.
If Norton eCare is not an option for you, be sure to call ahead before you go to a doctor’s office, Norton Immediate Care Center, Norton Prompt Care at Walgreens location or emergency room. Tell them about your symptoms and they will help direct you to the appropriate level of care.
