These symptoms are nonspecific and can be from other more common viruses as well as from covid. Ask your physician for instructions re covid testing.In the meantime self isolate, drink plenty of water. Taking zinc& vitamins C&D may offer some protection.

In South Africa a medical provider will determine need for COVID 19 testing. Consult your local primary care provider or you can use telemedicine for individual consultations. There are a number of free apps to look at your risk.
