COVID 19: Uncertain. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. The symptoms are not "unique" to COVID 19.My understanding is that in South Africa- one needs to consult with a medical provider who will then make the determination about test
