Covid-19 symptoms?

I have had shortness of breath for the past 4 days but no other symptoms or underlying illnesses. I have been isolating at home because I live in a rural area and do not drive. The nearest covid testing site 40 miles away. I do not want to ask a neighbor to drive me in case I do have covid and am contagious. What should I do to get tested?

If you stay asymptomatic I would quarantine for seven days and it still no fever or symptoms you could get your friend to drive you to a test as long as you’re both eating surgical mask And for remain distancing by sitting in the backseat and opening the windows
The only way to get tested is to go to a doctor that does the testing or a testing site. If you cannot drive yourself that is a tough one, you could try taking an Uber or taxi?
