A member asked:
One of my workmates at work has tested positive for covid 19. now am scared because he has been giving instructions to everyone of us and i have 2 year old baby at home . most times he was wearing a mask. what do i need to do. should i self isolate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Self isolate: The baby has an immature immune system. Continue to observe the baby for fever and lethargy. If you develop symptoms, avoid contact with the baby and the elderly in particular, self isolate and treat symptoms. Testing is indicated and the incubation period is typically 2-5 days, but as long as 14 or more days. If you are test negative, continue to watch for any signs of infection, rep test.

Good day, my wife just visited a GP at Medipark Centurion who felt it is not necessary to conduct a Covid-19 test. She has flu-like symptoms, a dry cough and measured a slight fever of 37.4C. We have a two week old infant at home and my mom who is 61?
