Inside Covid-19: Researchers explore the silent spread of Covid-19 in SA; the perils of home-testing - Ep 76

In this episode, we speak to Professor Cheryl Cohen, principal investigator of a study looking into the prevalence of asymptomatic infection in South Africa. She is also investigating the role of children in the transmission of Covid-19. We hear from a BizNews journalist how home Covid-19 tests are easily available - but you can easily think you test negative when you are positive. And we pick up on this theme with Discovery Health Public Health Medicines specialist Dr Geraldine Timothy, who gives us the low-down on what tests there are for Covid-19 - and why DIY testing is not a good idea. Also catch up on some of the Covid-19 developments making the headlines.
