There can be symptom: overlap between these 2 conditions. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: fever of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. Please call your doctor who can assess further & determine if you need testing.
