Respiratory symptoms: These symptoms certainly can be from COVID 19 especially in a young person. They could also be related to other conditions like other viruses, and many other conditions, With difficulties with breathing, would be best evaluated by a doctor in person. For some people, their shortness of breath does stop them from doing activities and may be evaluated by a telemedicine visit
