Contact local Dr.: Contact your local Dr for a referral. They can probably do it over the phone. They may ask you specific questions to assess your risk and will refer you for testing at a local location. Treatment does not differ whether tested or not. Self isolate, rest, drink lots of fluids and use pain relievers for headache, fever reducers for fever. See a Dr for Trouble breathing, blue lips/nails, chest pain.

See below: 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. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
