Not sick enough for a coronavirus test? Mercy Health employee says that's a major concern

For people in the valley who might have mild flu symptoms they probably have a lot of anxiety that things could get worse and turn into a case of coronavirus.
Mercy Health employee, Sally Kurjan, spoke with 21 News Wednesday about her concerns of not being able to get a coroavirus test even though she says she is showing some flu symptoms. She says she got sick Sunday night and based on her symptoms was told to isolate.
Her husband's employer is also making him quarantine. She tried a drive-thru clinic in the valley but was told she could only get a test for the regular flu. She took that and it came back negative.
But she says the uncertainty she now has wouldn't be there if she could just find out if she had the coronavirus or not.
"I think there are a lot of people like me that we just need to know. I had one of my best friends over to our house Sunday for dinner and it would make me feel horrible if this is what I had, you know I just want to be able to tell people," said Kurjan.
Kurjan says it stings seeing all the athletes and celebrities who don't have symptoms getting tested. She says they want to work and could if the coronavirus test came back negative.
Mercy Health spokesperson, Jonathan Fauvie tells 21 News, coronavirus testing must be saved for those who are hospitalized and showing the most severe symptoms, like high fever and breathing problems.
Fauvie says a local protocal is in place for who gets tested and who does not and there are only so many testing kits available.
Sally says she's worried her condition might get worse and she's already had contact with familiy members, including young children. She hopes to get a coronavirus test through the Cleveland Clinic with whom she has a virtual appointment with on Thursday.
