Also if your doctor isn’t in the office there has to be a system that determines what a person should do in doctors absence. If there is no specific guidelines at doctors office, your best bet is to call your insurance. Many insurances provide you with over the phone or online consultations with doctors or nurses

I have to add that if you have a referral for a hospital, they likely would take you in. The entire hospital can’t be possibly just testing for a virus and not provide any other treatments. That’s not possible. Call the hospital and ask when you can be admitted
I don't have insurance. Everything is covered by taxes. And the hospital is solely being used for emergency purposes and COVID-19 testing for now. Or at least the hospital that I have a referral for is like that.
