How to distinguish normal flue symptoms with that of covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19 VS Flu: Both FLU & COVID 19 can cause fever, congestion, cough, fatigue, body aches (& possibly nauseas, vomiting & diarrhea). Testing can help to distinguish the two. An interesting possible symptom of COVID 19 is loss of sense of taste/smell.
