COVID 19 and Med Rec Techs

What are your med rec techs doing with patients potentially identified but not yet tested or results not back for COVID-19? Our techs are currently 'business as usual' with precautions for these patients and we are discussing what other interviewing options could be used. Our ED rooms do not have telephones so calling isn't an option. Would love to hear how hospitals with more experience tackled this. Thank you.
