Thank you John Bishop for the information, Here is a good one. Went to the emergency room 8/1/20 for chest pain and was never tested for COVID. Am I wrong or what is the problem within my living area?

Hi Peach @peach414144, sorry to hear you had to go to the emergency room for chest pain. Hope it was nothing serious. I think there may not be a simple answer to your question. I think emergency rooms are taking COVID-19 precautions for staff and patients but I don't think they want to test you before they treat an emergency situation, especially chest pain and other serious symptoms. AARP had an article in April that mentions ERs -- Hospital ERs Making Major Changes to Address Patients' COVID-19 Fears: https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2020/er-precautions-coronavirus.html
