They might write an rx without seeing you. It depends on what you're calling about. It's not a blanket "no." My doctor participates in telehealth, so yes - if I had the symptoms of COVID, and took a home test and it came up positive, and I was able to present that information over the phone to my doctor, he would likely write up that prescription.
