While at cruise the aft cabin called about a passenger suffering from the chills and a runny nose. She was a lady in her mid-sixties traveling home from a cruise with her husband. They wanted to know the symptoms of Corona virus. We contacted dispatch and had them patch us through to Medlink. The Dr said to separate them by at least 6ft from other passengers and take her temperature. The crew received no training on the thermometer strips and couldn't figure how they worked. Also the Doctor said to put face masks on the two of them.  CDC was to meet us at the gate. Didn't happen.  EMS met the flight after a delay and escorted her off to the jetbridge where she was examined. In view of the deplaning passengers.
Air carrier Captain reported a passenger was suffering from the chills and a runny nose during flight.
