Covid-19: Hi, sorry to hear that, your symptoms are highly suggestive of covid-19. Please contact a local doctor or health agency and they can guide you on how to get tested there. Please quarantine yourself, get rest, drink water and use acetaminophen as needed for fevers.

Lab/Hospital Test: The test for Corona virus(Covid-19 infection) is available in some hospitals as well as in private labs. Please contact both facilities and get it done in a reputable hospital or a private lab. The Test is called PCR test for Covid-19 infection. There is also some cheaper tests called Antigen test, available but they can miss 20% of the infections. So go for a PCR test if you can pay for it.
