Exam!: You should go to a clinic for an exam. Your symptoms could be associated with Covid-19 or another illness which should be properly evaluated as soon as possible. I wish you well with your health!

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 your area. 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.
