COVID 19 testing: In South Africa, one contacts a medical provider for eval & to decide if COVID 19 testing is indicated. You might contact your own medical provider or consider getting a telemedicine consult from an on-line provider. See this REF for a list of testing sites in South Africa: https://947.co.za/articles/2020/03/19/here-are-your-covid-19-testing-sites-in-south-africa
