COVID testing: In South Africa- one consults with a medical provider who will determine need for COVID 19 testing. Consult your local primary care provider or use resources like telemedicine. In USA testing policies vary by state. The timing would be good for testing.

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.
