I was discharged from netcare sunwood park hospital on 6 may. is it prudent to get a covid test now that a staff member is posative. ?

Yes: While the incubation period is typically shorter, if there is a chance of transmission, then I would recommend a screening test. If you have had any mild symptoms in the past few weeks, antibody screening is available to determine whether you have had COVID 19 infection. The typical symptoms include flu like symptoms. Please stay home, rest, drink fluids and monitor your temperature.
