My roommate was now pitching in, calling the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in one room while I called NYC Health and Hospitals, the city’s public hospital system, in the other. called back, a person said someone would call me every few days to check my status; I haven’t heard from the C.D.C. The whole time, I was still on hold with NYC Health and Hospitals. After a few more minutes, I got through to someone who also took down my symptoms and demographic information. But about an hour later, NYC Health and Hospitals called back and wanted to schedule a test for me and my roommate the next morning.
