About Bayhealth Hospital, Kent Campus
If you are experiencing symptoms of fever, cough, or shortness of breath, before leaving your home, call your health care provider or the DPH Coronavirus Call Center at 1-866-408-1899 first to discuss whether you should be tested for coronavirus. Importantly, testing is NOT recommended for those who do not have symptoms.
There is no need to go to the emergency room, unless you are having significant difficulty breathing.
Symptomatic individuals who want or need a COVID-19 test and who have access to a health care provider will first need to be evaluated by their provider.
