COVID 19: This could be related to a number of different infections to include COVID 19. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these sx's: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. Make sure to quarantine. I don't know what the testing protocol is because I don't know what state you are from.
