I was in close contact with a family member on saturday who tested positive for covid today.

Covid 19: Covid 19 Symptoms include: Fever/chills: cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle/body aches, headaches, loss of taste/smell, sore throat, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea. If you have 2 or more symptoms and a postive exposure history, you should be tested. Testing does not change the treatment: Self-isolate, Acetaminophen for pain/fever, decongestant, cough med, lots of fluids, rest.

COVID 19 concerns: Agree with Dr. Kratzberg . Your symptoms are suspicious for a possible COVID 19 infected. 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.
