Some basics: You are considered contagious from 2 days before symptoms start for at least 10 days thereafter. Yet some never have symptoms & the type of test used may be positive for weeks after they stop being contagious. You may or may not have been exposed. Being phlemy is not listed as a primary/common covid-19 symptom. Get tested if you wish.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in ZA. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
