Testing is prudent: HealthTap's free, public site is for education. We are not able to provide referrals on this portion of HealthTap. 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.

COIVD 19 exposure : I can't be sure without more information, but most likely you have COVID 19. It is very important that you keep isolated, as should your brother from each other and other people. See a doctor via telemedicine
