COVID 19 concerns: I can't tell what country you are from. The CDC has provided guidelines for COVID 19 testing at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/hcp/clinical-criteria.html. However, state & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions. Some states require a doctor's referral and others don't. People can call their health care provider if they believe they should be tested.

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 more symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
