Only a doctor, or other provider can order a test.  
People who think they might be positive for COVID 19 should call their primary care provider first.
If it is after hours, or the symptoms are serious, call the local Emergency Room to tell them your symptoms.
Or call your insurance Nurse Line.
 
Not all clinics are set up (most are). All Emergency Rooms are set up to test.  
But Emergency Rooms do not want to spread disease, which is why you should call first. They may ask you to wear a mask, or have more information.
