Fever/flu like sx: COVID-19 is typically associated with flu like symptoms, fever, dry cough and/or shortness of breath. If your shortness of breath does not improve with Albuterol inhaler, please call your PCP right away. Stay home, rest, drink fluids, monitor your temperature and avoid environmental triggers such as smoke and dust.
