Yes!: Studies of some (but not all) COVID-19 patients, show that nausea, vomiting and diarrhea can occur, sometimes before the onset of cold symptoms. Get tested if you can! Testing is good for everyone though, to help determine how many people have COVID-19 in your country, if the ability to do so is present.
