I've had a sore throat / sinus infection for 7 days. do i need to go for a covid test?

Good idea. 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.
