"A staffer for US Senator Maria Cantwell has tested positive for coronavirus – the first known congressional worker to catch the virus, her office said Wednesday.

The unidentified patient, who works out of Cantwell’s Washington, DC, office, has had no known contact with the senator or other lawmakers, Cantwell’s office said in a statement.

The diagnosis led Cantwell to close her DC office for the remainder of the week. Remaining staffers will work remotely.

Cantwell, who represents Washington state, asked other staffers to get tested in light of the positive results."

1. how does one "get tested" in these days...

I mean what is the process (especially if you have no "regular GP&quot ?

Is there a state or local site I can go to for scheduling? Are there enough test kits available to test random people asking.

I ask because I feel a little ill... slight persistant fever, occasional cough.

I'm in California, near the Bay Area.

Normally I would say "oh you are just fighting off a mild cold"... but no runny nose, no sore throat... just a fever and occasional cough... and feeling a little run down.

2. Check with your county health department

Or your primary care doctor if you have one.
