THIS IS A HOAX

As usual, most hoaxes contain some truth, some part-truths and then the hoax

Truth: 0 8000 2 9999

Truth: 0 8000 2 9999 is the COVID-19 / Coronavirus 24-hour Hotline run by the NICD (South African National Institute for Communicable Diseases)

Part-truth

Part truth: Don’t rush to your doctor’s rooms or the hospital if you start displaying some of the symptoms. Rather self-isolate. Carefully monitor your condition and symptoms. Contact the Hotline for advise. You may be advised to set up an appointment with your doctor or to go for a test at a clinic or hospital.

The HOAX. False.

False, a hoax: The COVID-19 Hotline will NOT send “someone” to your home to do a test. That is false, a hoax and is creating numerous time wasting calls to the Hotline.
