Not what we do: This is a health information site where volunteer docs based primarily in the USA answer health questions based on symptoms you post. It does not offer scripts/notes/review x-rays or do other forms of direct to patient care. We have no access to on information on how your health system works in South Africa. Contact local officials for such questions.

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.
