COVID 19: I can't tell where you are from. If you are in the US, the requirements for testing differ from state to state. If in South Africa, you would need to contact your medical provider who will then make determination as to whether they believe testing is appropriate. In the meantime, please isolate yourself.

Agree with Dr. F: 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 your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. if you or any one else in your family develops breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
