Hard to get tested: Throat pain can be from a strep throat (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza, or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor (call first) if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly. COVID-19 infections tend to have cough, whereas strep usually lacks cough but has more throat pain. Can call Dr. by video or phone. (3/23/20)

COVID 19: My understanding (from South African MDs) is that currently one can be testing in South Africa for one COVID 19 symptom. I don't know when you wrote in , it may have been a stricter policy at that time. These symptoms could be due to COVID 19 or due to other conditions.
