How do you know that you have covid-19
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Simple answer : Is you do not. In the context of possible exposure developing flu-like symptoms would provide the right context for possibly having the infection. Testing will eventually decide as a variety of conditions may cause similar symptoms.
