In your country this appears to be the case. However, this is a public information site based in the US. We do not provide scripts/referrals or other forms of direct patient care. You need to contact your local health agency through their website. I believe they have a screening questionnaire & other procedures to help you get this done.

You posted on the Free Public Health Education site for HealthTap where we do not diagnosis, treat or refer. In ZA, a medical provider evals to decide if COVID 19 testing is indicated. Contact your own medical provider or get telemedicine consult from an on-line provider. You can use one of the free on-line apps check your risk.
