This is the Coronavirus Q&A podcast, brought to you by KSL Newsradio.  Today's guests are Dr. Todd Vento, an infectious diseases specialist with Intermountain Healthcare. And Nate McDonald is here as well, he is part of the communications team with the Utah Coronavirus Task Force.

The questions today are:

1 - What can, and what can't be performed during a telehealth exam? (1:13)

2 - Of the 30,000 Utahns tested for COVID-19, are those unique tests or unique patients? (4:39)

3 -  How can I tell if I've already had COVID-19? (5:38)

4 - Could you take a test, theoretically in a year from now, that will confirm whether you had COVID-18 this year? (8:01)

5 -  If you believe you are asymptomatic, at what point should you consider call the doctor. Also, when you pick up take-out food, what things do we need to be aware of when we're picking up the food? (9:47)

6 - My pharmacist told me I won't be able to refill my Plaquenil (for Lupus) until summer or later. How do we as patients who rely on that medication to get through a day, manage? (13:25)

7 Once you get COVID-19, and you heal, can you get it again? (~15:38)
