Not pneumonia: From the symptoms you describe, it does not sound like you have COViD-19 pneumonia. This does not mean you are COVID free, so practice social distancing and hand sanitation, wear a mask if in public etc. If you develop shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, then you may have developed pneumonia. Call your Dr if you are not getting better.

Evaluation: There are many viral illnesses that may cause these symptoms. COVID 19, influenza and other causes should be ruled out. Mycoplasma and Strep infection may be treated with antibiotics, and influenza may be treated early during the course with Tamiflu. Screening tests and a sample of your sputum may be obtained by your PCP.

I have mild asthma told to stay home. Is it somewhat safe to assume that after 3 weeks mild symptoms matching Covid-19 (not been tested, but they are mild body ache, low-grade fever, headache and coughing up mucus) that this is unlikely to get worse?

I have had symptoms of chest pain, headaches, body aches and a bit of throat uncomfort (but not soreness) for the past few days but no fever, cough or difficulty breathing. Should I get tested for covid? Or do these symptoms of something else?
