Answer 1

YES: I f you live with of hang out with your girlfriend then you were potentially, exposed best to quarantine a few days see if girlfriend develops symptoms.

Answer 2

COVID 19: The majority of dr’s viewing your questions are in USA. Our policies may differ. I refer you to “https://sacoronavirus.co.za/” which is the COVID 19 South African Corona Virus Resource Portal for guidance.

Answer 3

COVID 19 exposure : It's interesting how people advise a casual wait and see posture for a potentially deadly virus. If you were with your girlfriend, isolate yourself, do not leave your room until advised otherwise by a doctor who understands COVID-19 transmission. People with no symptoms are more likely to spread it. Contact a doctor via telemedicine.

Answer 4

Uncertain: Please contact your PCM who can assess for this. But, from a clinical standpoint that would be wise. COVID 19 Sx's may include fever, cough, feeling tired, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, chills, chest pain, nasal congestion, loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.

Answer 5

Yes: Wear a mask, stay more than 2 meters away from other people, practice hand hygiene, if you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately.

Answer 6

COVID testing: In South Africa https://www.nicd.ac.za/covid-19-testing-sites/ In he USA google "COVID testing site in...." and insert the name of your city and state.

Answer 7

COVID 19: I don't know where you live. 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. My understanding -in South Africa, one contacts a medical provider for eval & to decide if COVID 19 testing is indicated. In US, policies vary by state. Go to https://www.apple.com/covid19/ & choose your state's health

Answer 8

COVID concerns: You did not state if he has mild or severe symptoms. Considering the so many unknowns of this virus, it is perfectly normal to be concerned. i'm sure his physician will guide him on what to do during his isolation to keep healthy and fight off his illness. All the best...

Answer 9

COVID 19: You haven't shared what kind of contact if any, you have with your brother - if you are concerned about getting infected by him. If you are concerned primarily with his wellbeing - with a positive COVID 19 test - he could have no symptoms, mild symptoms all the way to severe illness. Most people have mild symptoms.

Answer 10

Maybe: you might have been in a incubation period. if you're feeling unwell, then you should consider retesting. set up a virtual consult via the Discovery app and we'll assess and possibly refer for test Kind Regards Dr Aylwin David Nathaniel

Answer 11

COVID concerns.: Possibly. You could have had too low a viral titer to get a positive result when tested. Also, you may have been exposed again via your sister. Do you have any symptoms?

Answer 12

Covid: I would suggest doing a VIDEO virtual online consultation through the Discovery DrConnect app if you can't get to your GP. We can have a discussion regarding her Covid protocol. Kind Regards Dr Aylwin David Nathaniel

Answer 13

Covid contacts: First of all if you are staying with your sister then you should also self isolate. Your sister should self isolate for a pariod of 14 days makes sure she wears a mask if in contact with anyone. Depending on the symptoms she developed she should consult and if she developed shortness of breath she should contact emergency immediately,She should take all prescribed medication
