Covid testing: My understanding is that in South Africa you must contact a physician for screening. It can be done virtually. If the screening physician assesses a Covid risk you will be directed to a testing facility.

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.
