The CDC has expanded testing beyond the initial travel to china recommendations^[1]

Test any person who has fever or respiratory illness AND had close contact with a known COVID-19 patient
Test any person who has fever or respiratory illness AND a history of travel to CDC-classified high risk areas or areas with recent significant community spread
Test any person who has severe respiratory illness AND is being admitted to the hospital
Test any hospitalized person who has respiratory illness AND no alternative diagnosis
Consider testing any person who has respiratory illness AND lives in a residential facility such as a nursing home or recently returned from a cruise

Due to the risk of viral spread via droplets, early intubation is preferred over noninvasive ventilation

Supportive care is mainstay of therapy for patients with mild viral symptoms
Most patients will do well enough for discharge home
Discuss with Dept of Public Health, who will guide testing and, if discharging, help patient remain in isolation at home

Usually home, but decision needs to be made in conjunction with the local Public Health Dept
If admitting, needs to be placed in negative pressure isolation room with airborne and droplet precautions
