If symptoms develop isolate for 10 days, Drink Flugon 2 three times a day, Septogard 2 three times a day, Corenza c one three times a day,Omega 3 and Vit D 1000iu/d. Most specific symptoms of Covid is chills, anosmia and backache.

COVID 18 concerns: 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. There are a number of free apps you can use to look at your risk.
