Contact doctor: Do the online screening with Discovery on the website, then contact a doctor and discuss your symptoms to decide whether referral is necessary. You can contact a doctor who is online or send a request for an inbox consultation.

COVID 19: 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. Rest, hydration, acetaminophen, decongestant, cough med & nasal saline irrigation may help mild symptoms. Make sure to quarantine.
