Probably covid: Covid symptoms include Fever, cough, headaches, sore throat, shortness of breath, muscle/body aches. If you have two or more of these symptoms there is a good chance that you have Covid. A Test will only provide documentation, it will not change the way the symptoms are treated. Self-isolate. Use pain reliever for headache/throat pain, get lots of rest and drink lots of fluids.

COVID 19 testing: Would quarantine now. You can treat this as if it was presumptive COVID or go ahead & get tested. COVID 19 Sx's may include fever, cough, feeling tired, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, chills, chest pain, nasal congestion, loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
