A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold concerns: The problem with going to work if you have the common cold is that you can infect others. The other issue is that COVID 19 can present with no symptoms or very few symptoms. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.
