Wrong place to ask: This is the HT public information site where docs, primarily in the USA answer health questions. You are welcome to post questions about health problems, but we don't treat or provide referral documents. We have no access to or information about your local healthcare options around the world where this site is seen. Contact a local provider for such questions.

ZA or USA?: I can’t tell where you are from. If from South Africa, contact PCM who will assess & make determination about COVID 19 testing. USA – policies vary by state. State & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions. Some states require a dr.'s referral & some don't. Can call PCM if one believes they should be tested. For significant breathing problems go to ER.
