Google "COVID testing near me" for local test centers. When someone has close exposure to a COVID + person (w/in 6ft x 15+min w/o full PPE), it can take up to 14 days from the date of exposure before you get sick or test +.

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. See: https://947.co.za/articles/2020/03/19/here-are-your-covid-19-testing-sites-in-south-africa

Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Contact your doctor/local hospital, by phone for evaluation and testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Get Covid vaccine. Wish you good health.
