Possibly: It is very possible that you have Covid-19. Self-isolate so that you don't spread the virus, and treat the symptoms: Acetaminophen for body aches/headaches, decongestant for blocked nose, Drink lots of fluids, especially electrolyte solutions and get lots of rest. If you need confirmation for work you can get tested.
