Pregnancy test: Most lockdowns allow chemists and pharmacies to remain open and you may be able to get a test to do at home. But if you have no symptoms and have only missed your period, it is safer at present to wait at home to do it. These tests are generally very accurate.

Pregnancy test: I would assume that like in the US, that pharmacies & drug stores are still open in South Africa. You don't need to go to the hospital to get a blood test. Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. Recommend a home pregnancy test.
