Self isolate: These symptoms are not the most commonly reported for Covid-19, but any illness right now is a good reason to self quarantine. Avoid contact with others, wash hands regularly. Just be careful, eat and sleep well. Call your doctor if high fever or trouble breathing.

COVID 19: Please take your temperature. If you have a fever and sore throat that would be more of concern. I would encourage you to consult with your doctor. Since many people with COVID 19 have no symptoms, one symptom or few symptoms (some of which may not be the classic ones), I am reluctant to say that is ruled out.
