Hard to guess: COVID-19 pandemic at this time, so a doctor on video may consult by video instead of requiring an in-person visit. Flu-like symptoms can be from a strep throat infection, a cold or influenza, or from some other cause like COVID-19. Usually, a person calls the doctor if the symptoms are bothersome, serious, recurrent, or persistent. COVID-19 testing depends on local availability. (3/22/20)

Call your Dr.: An evaluation by your doctor (possibly via telehealth) and testing will help to determine your diagnosis. Covid testing policies differ in each country. Please review Covid 19 Corona Virus South African Resource Portal at https://sacoronavirus.co.za/ to obtain further guidance.
