Mitchell's Plain Clinic

Heard this morning that they don't do the COVID-19 tests if you don't have comorbidity. Friend of mine went two weeks ago as she presented with the symptoms. Stood outside in the line, shivers and all, only to be told 3 hours later that they won't be getting the test done. She received a note advising ASSUMED POSITIVE and that was that. Quite a few people received the same note. My question is this: What employer is ever going to accept that note and pay you your salary at the same time (as you have to isolate)? What does one use in the fight against your "assumed positive" status? Has anyone provided a list of medications that can be used? Are the clinics supposed to assist with the medication? Or do we have to go and spend money to buy medication? How accurate are these stats they provide us with re: amount of infections when the clinics don't do the tests?

When did they stop doing these tests? It's very scary and quite horrifying to hear that the tests are not being done.
