We understand that the current COVID-19 pandemic may leave you with unanswered questions and/or concerns. If you are looking for more information about coronavirus, how it may be impacting you and how VA is responding, the following options are available: you can call MyVA311 at 1-844-698-2311, visit our Coronavirus FAQs page, or read VA's public health response. Additional information available for the general public can be found at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website.

If you have symptoms of fever, cough, or shortness of breath, call your VA Medical Center or provider before going to a clinic, urgent care center, or emergency room. Calling first helps us protect you, medical staff, and other patients. If you are unsure how to find your local VA Medical Center, a list of resources is available here. 

 

To continue with the Self-Check Quiz, please follow the 3 easy steps below

  1. Fill out a brief Self-Check Quiz, which takes about 10 minutes. 
  2. A VA Chat Responder will review it and leave a personal response for you on this secure website. The Responder's note will offer options for follow-up if it's felt that could be helpful.
  3. You decide what's next. You may enter the online Veterans Chat and continue talking with a Responder with or without identifying yourself. You may want to get a referral to see someone in person. Or, you can decide to do nothing at this time. It's all up to you. No follow-up services will be provided unless you request them. 

Protecting your privacy

You will not be asked to provide your name or any other information that identifies you.

You will be automatically assigned a unique identifying number called a "Reference Code" which will appear on the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Your Reference Code will also be provided on a page that you will see immediately after you submit the Self-Check Quiz. You will need to make a note of your Reference Code, because you'll need it to get the Responder's note to your Quiz.
