Do i still need a referral letter from a gp in order to test for covid 19?

Yes: Your GP will be in best position to coordinate and followup with you once results known. Do not forget to quarantine.

COVID 19 testing: I work in the USA, but to the best of my knowledge 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.

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.
