A/W Dr. Hansfeld: Both FLU & COVID 19 can cause fever, congestion, cough, fatigue, body aches (& possibly nauseas, vomiting & diarrhea). Testing can help to distinguish the two. An interesting possible symptom of COVID 19 is loss of sense of taste/smell. Do you have any risk factors for having gotten COVID 19?
