Symptoms: The symptoms of COVID=19 include fever, sore throat and dry cough. I would suggest calling your PCP, staying at home, resting and drinking fluids. Testing may also include influenza as well as COVID-19. HealthTap offers virtual consultations online to determine the next steps in your management.
