Testing is not warranted at this point
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting us with your health query.
At this point, COVID-19 (Coronavirus) testing is not warranted in your case. CDC recommends testing for people who have definite history of contact with positive cases and have comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, etc, people with symptoms of respiratory infection like sore throat, cough, fever, body pain, nausea, and breathing difficulty.
So testing is not required at this point for you. However, if you develop any symptoms mentioned above, please call your primary provider or local health department to schedule testing.
Meanwhile, stay at home as much as possible. Wear masks/facial covering while outside. Maintain social distancing. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. You can use cold water for washing your hands. Use hand sanitizer if available.
Hope this answers your question

Testing not required at this point. But need to be cautious
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the follow up with the additional information.
Humira is an immunosuppressant. So the risk of infection is high and therefore you need to be extra vigilant to avoid contracting infection. Follow the safety measures as detailed above.
And if you ever come in contact with a known confirmed case of COVID -19, then testing is required. Or if symptoms relating to the infection develop, immediately follow up with the primary provider.
Hand washing can be done with cold water and soap. Wash thoroughly for 20 seconds. At this point given your history, testing is not required.
Regards
Dr.Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
