We know many people are concerned about potential exposure to COVID-19. If you think you've been exposed and are experiencing fever and respiratory symptoms, here are three ways to access our services:

• Please call ahead before arriving in person. This includes physician clinics, urgent care centers or emergency departments.
• See a provider virtually using Swedish Express Care Virtual. With this service, you can visit with one of our providers via online video from the comfort of your home, seven days a week.
• Use the new Swedish online coronavirus assessment tool. We developed a "chat" tool to help you assess your risk and connect you with a provider virtually if you are at a higher risk for the virus.

By calling ahead or connecting online, a professional can talk with you about seeking care, including options for testing, while minimizing the risk of exposing yourself or others through an in-person visit.
