COVID testing: Yes, you should be tested because it's possible that you have asymptomatic COVID and you could potentially spread the disease to others.

COVID 19 testing: In South Africa a medical provider will determine need for COVID 19 testing. Consult your local primary care provider or you can use telemedicine (to include HealthTap’s telemedicine format) for individual consultations.
