COVID concerns: In South Africa- one needs to consult with a medical provider who will make determination about whether to test for COVID 19 or not. You can consult your local primary care provider. There are also other resources such as “Talk –to-Doctor” on HealthTap. In USA the testing policies vary by state. In the meantime, you need to quarantine.

I have a bit of a sore throat and my skin feels hot (as if I applied deep heat all over it). I am a bit paranoid about covid-19. Should I get tested or are my symptoms coherent with something else?
