Maybe: Body aches & pains are not the most common presenting symptoms of covid but do occur. They are also present in a number of unrelated illnesses. The availability of testing & covid exposures/activity in your area are a consideration. Going for a test among others at risk may expose people who are not infected. Those with cough & difficulty breathing are the group most likely to need hospital care.

COVID 19 concerns: These symptoms could be related to a number of conditions (to include COVID 19). Testing would be the only way to confirm if it is COVID 19.
