COVID 19 contact: This set of symptoms may or may not be related to COVID 19 infection. Because you live in South Africa, you will need to be evaluated by a medical provider (can be your doctor or telemedicine) to determine if you can be tested for COVID 19.

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.
