See below: 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. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.

Dr referral: Referrals for Covid tests are made by Doctors via telemedicine consults or in person consults. Contact your personal doctor or one at an urgent care near you for a referral. If these are unavailable, talk to a Dr via Video Consult on HealthTap.com. Referrals cannot be made on this portion of the HealthTap platform as this is an open forum for questions only.

COVID 19 test: In South Africa- one consults with a medical provider who will determine need for COVID 19 testing. Consult your local primary care provider or you can use telemedicine for individual consultations.
