Same in the UK. You won't be tested any longer if you show symptoms. I called NHS 111 yesterday because my son has high fever and a cough. 2 hour wait time to speak to someone on the phone, which gives an indication of how many people are calling in with symptoms.

They said the symptoms sound like coronavirus, but it's not being tested anymore (it was still being tested at drive-throughs 2 days ago) as the government has moved from "contain" phase to "delay" phase - advised to stay at home for 7 days and call back if it gets worse.

I asked if his brother can continue going to school, given he is probably exposed - the advise was yes, as long as he isn't showing any symptoms.

They have given up trying to contain this and it's difficult to see how you can trust reported case numbers going forward since testing has stopped.
