Uncertain: I tried to review what this signifies in South Africa - but have limited ability to access that info. The majority of doctors viewing your questions are located in USA. Our policies/ protocols may differ from yours. I refer you to “https://sacoronavirus.co.za/” which is the COVID 19 South African Corona Virus Resource Portal for guidance specific to your area.

Positive result: The actual copy of the test may be uploaded to an inbox consultation with Healthtap for exact medical interpretation. Your test though is positive and the term is a description. Please stay home, use social distancing, rest, drink fluids and monitor your temperature. Tylenol may be used for fever control. If worsening of rapidly changing symptoms occur, please follow up.
