COVID 19: Although your symptoms could be from a variety of condition- COVID 19 is most surely on that list. COVID 19 sx’s: dry cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, nasal congestion, sneezing, fever, headache, sore throat, feeling tired, loss of sense of taste/smell, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, chills & muscle aches. Do think testing is prudent.

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. Your symptoms warrant testing. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
