A member asked:
If someone has a cold or the flu, can he/she still become infected with covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. : If someone has the common cold or the flu, they CAN get COVID-19 in addition. That's why it's important to not assume a COVID infection until one gets tested. Keep proper hygiene and wash hands. Stay safe.
