URI: Those symptoms are quite characteristic of a simple viral upper respiratory tract infection or mild influenza. You should stay home and not transmit this infection to others. Presence of fever, cough and some breathing issues would be more suspicious of coronavirus infection. If you've been exposed to this infection or live in an area where coronavirus has been endemic, get tested.
