SA COVID testing: The exact testing process may be different in different provinces and between the public and private sectors. In general, you need to first contact your healthcare provider or your local clinic/hospital. They will tell you what the exact process is for you to be tested. ref: https://www.nicd.ac.za/diseases-a-z-index/covid-19/advice-for-the-public/what-to-do-if-i-think-i-have-covid-19/
