Possible: Top symptoms of COVID include fever, dry cough, SOB. Sore throat is a symptom, but not as common. You are 36 and likelyhood of severe infection uncommon. Probably best to socially isolate. Other possibilities include strep, influenza or adenovirus. Follow these guidelines: https://www.healthtap.com/blog/covid-19-care-guidelines/self-quarantine-guide

If that is only: symptom,it is possible but not likely.Follow your symptoms and if you also develop a fever, cough, or shortness of breath,please call your doctor for further advice.You should also increase your fluids,rest,and self-quarantine until you know that you are better.If you know you were exposed to Covid-19 and symptoms are progressing, it is more likely that you do have it and should still do the same.
