ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

Nurse line: Uninsured? Have Medi-Cal, but no regular doctor? Medi-Nurse can help. California has launched an advice line that can connect you with a nurse, day or night, to talk about COVID-19 symptoms and help connect you with local resources in your area. If you don’t have health care coverage, or you have Medi-Cal but don’t have a regular doctor, California’s new nurse advice line can help.
