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.

Treat Symptoms: Once infected with Covid-19, symptoms can begin anywhere from day 3 to day 8. Look for fever, dry cough, extreme tiredness. Many people will have no symptoms. If you have been exposed in close proximity to someone who had covid 19, self isolate for 14 days to prevent spreading the disease. see a Dr for worsening difficulty breathing, oxygen less than 93 and blue lips.
