- If you’re having trouble speaking, you can type to Siri instead.
- Now, say something like, “Do I have COVID-19.”
- iri will take you through a series of prompts.
- Depending on how you answer, Siri will respond in one of three ways:
No symptoms: Siri will send you to the CDC guidelines for prevention.
Mild symptoms: Siri will give you a list of telehealth providers.
Severe symptoms: Siri will tell you to call 911. - If you’ve been directed to a telehalth service, then select Learn more on the App Store to continue..
