If your directed by your physician to go to the Health department or the ER in Zanesville to be tested, because they deemed it necessary as you have displayed symptoms, YOU WILL NOT BE TESTED! my son just went through this. Muskingum County Health on has 205 test kits available. Unless you meet their criteria, YOU WILL NOT BE TESTED! even though the hospital has tested you for the flu and it comes back negative, YOU WILL NOT BE TESTED! My son has displayed all the symptoms, he has traveled throughout Ohio on his job and Health department WILL NOT TEST him. He has been in contact with nursing staff and nursing homes and THEY WILL NOT TEST!
