COVID 19: I would. However, my understanding is that in South Africa one needs to consult with their medical provider who will determine appropriateness of COVID 19 testing.

Yes: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in ZA. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
