Testing is good idea: 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. There are a number of free apps to look at your risk.

Test asap: Don't wait any longer get tested NOW. Go to the nearest hospital emergency room don't wait to make an appointment at a doctors office or a clinic. Symptoms are serious and age and any medical problems make this a serious life threating situation.
