The Arizona Republic: How to get tested in Arizona, questions answered
Your Covid-19 update from The Arizona Republic.
Coronavirus Watch
LOCAL UPDATES TO STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE Wednesday, March 18It's Wednesday afternoon, and this is Coronavirus Watch from The Arizona Republic, where we update you on the latest we know about how COVID-19 is impacting you and your community.
One of the most common questions we're getting from readers right now is about how to get tested.
Testing, which has been limited so far, is ramping up as more commercial labs enter the market. The state on Monday announced that test collection sites for any Arizonans with COVID-19 will be opening in Arizona soon and more details are expected this week.
So far, most testing is still being restricted to those who have a doctor's order.
If you start having symptoms, call your primary care doctor OR the state helpline at 844-542-8201. Your doctor will work with local and state officials to determine if you need to be tested.
Don't visit an urgent care or hospital without first calling your family doctor, unless it's an emergency, such as if you are having difficulty breathing. This will help prevent spreading the virus to other patients.
• Fever. • Dry cough. • Shortness of breath. • Aches, chills, tiredness. • Congestion, runny nose, sore throat. • Vomiting, diarrhea. The latest news

Check yours here. • ASU athletes could get to work out alone or in small groups. • Childcare challenges? Some preschools and daycares are still open. • These metro Phoenix concerts are cancelled or postponed. • Struggling with bills? Utility companies vow not to cut services. • Social distancing tip of the day: Take a walk. It'scloudy but gorgeous outside! My neighbors got together on Facebook and decided to tape pictures of shamrocks in their windows so families could walk around the block and count them. • Moment of zen: Barrio Cafe Gan Reserva chef Silvana Salcido Esparza invited Facebook followers to post what they were cooking at home and she'd offer guidance. I wonder what she'd suggest to liven up tonight's chili? More questions answered
Many of you have reached out to us with your questions. We've answered some of your specific concerns here. What else would you like to know?
One reader asked: Does the flu shot help prevent coronavirus?
A flu shot can help in an indirect way, according to Dr. Albert Ko of the Yale School of Public Health. As more people have immunity to influenza, fewer will need treatment, causing less confusion about whether an infected person has COVID-19 or flu, and leaving more hospital beds open for coronavirus patients.
Children age 6 months to 8 years may need a second flu shot because their immune systems aren't as developed, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For adults, a vaccine is recommended once a year, in October, before the peak of flu, the CDC said.
Although the flu season is coming to an end, you can still get a flu shot, said Dr. Gregory Poland, of Mayo Clinic. But call your doctor first. Many medical facilities are limiting non-essential visits.

ProPublica: This Coronavirus Is Unlike Anything in Our Lifetime, and We Have to Stop Comparing It to the Flu
This Coronavirus Is Unlike Anything in Our Lifetime, and We Have to Stop Comparing It to the Flu
Longtime health reporter Charles Ornstein says that comparing the novel coronavirus to the flu is dangerously inaccurate. Not one public health expert he trusts has called that comparison valid. Here's why.
