Medical Schemes
Most medical schemes have created COVID-19 specific communications, including FAQs. If you suspect you have been infected with the COVID-19 virus, you are advised to contact your doctor telephonically (do not visit the rooms as you will spread the virus if you are indeed infected) or contact the government hotline – you will be advised from there on the necessary protocol to follow for assistance.
