Coronavirus?: First self-isolate. If your symptoms get worse please go to a Doctor to find out what type of virus or infection you have and get the right kind of medication or call an ambulance to take you to the emergency room of your nearest hospital where you can get tested.

Short of breath?: Shortness of breath may reflect on you as a tight chest. If this is the case you may need your blood oxygen level to be checked , and your lungs to be evaluated to rule out a covid 19. If your chest discomfort gets worse call your doctor or go to ER. Scratchy throat could be a viral pharyngitis or strep throat and possibly covid 19.
