Based on the limited supply of test kits, and ability to use them in an rapid manner, I believe we are entering a phase where symptoms should warrant an immediate self-quarantine.
Waiting for a negative, or declaring that only those that may have traveled or contacted someone who was in china is test worthy is foolhardy. This thing dies after 9+ days in the environment, if we reduce exposure of those who may be infected; It is possible we can wait this out.
Companies without work from home policies should revisit them immediately. Forcing someone who is under the weather or feeling off to come into your office is risking your whole company site.
Also tell your co-workers to go home when they are sick! An office is not an ambulatory pneumonia wing of the local hospital. Sick people should be home!
