If a parent has COVID-19, how would they get their child tested as well?

Call your child’s healthcare professional if your child is sick with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, and has been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19, or if you live in or have recently traveled from an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19. Your healthcare professional will work with Ohio’s public health department and the CDC to determine if your child needs to be tested for COVID-19.
