The only way to know for certain if your symptoms are due to Covid 19 is to get tested. So, get tested ASAP and isolate yourself until you know the results of your test. If your test is positive, call your doctor. If it is negative, your symptoms could be due to the common cold, sinus infection, flu-like illness, etc. Get a Covid vaccine if you are unvaccinated for maximum protection! Good luck!
