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 for individual consultations. There are a number of free apps to look at your risk.

Your GP will be your best resource at this point, being able to coordinate testing and proper followup. Do not forget about placing yourself in quarantine and informing your employer and/or school.
