Test anyone showing Covid19 symptoms including mild & increase contact tracing
Increase covid19 testing: All patients showing showing covid19 symptoms, no matter how mild should be able to be tested, even if that means them having to pay towards private testing. Contact tracing should be increased to isolate possible new cases.
It has been shown in Korea and the other previously affected countries that increased testing, screening and contact tracing greatly reduces the spread of the virus.
