A member asked:
I am about to travel to funeral from jhb to mthatha, would it be possible to test for covid 19 before my trip?

Depends: #1. If you do not have any symptoms, were not directly exposed to someone you know for a fact was tested + for covid-19, then there is no need to test yourself for covid-19. Practice social distancing as much as possible, and use hand sanitizer, wear a mask if in crowds. #2. If you HAVE symptoms: cough, fever, difficulty breathing, cold symptoms: then DON'T go. Better to miss the funeral.
