  • Fever (100.4 degrees or higher)
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath

AND 

2. In the last month, have you been in contact with someone who was confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19 OR have you traveled internationally or to an area with a known COVID-19 outbreak? (Check the latest high-risk travel areas here.)
