Screen : A screening test in your area is recommended. It can be difficult to distinguish mild cases of COVID from allergic nasal symptoms. I stay home,rest,drink fluids and use nasal saline until tested. COVID 19 May progress rapidLy and result in fever,chills and flu like symptoms. Watch for these signs and a virtual consultation is available at Healthtap.

Loss of smell : A very common reasons for loss of smell are allergies secondary to problems with the nose. As you mention COVID 19 causes loss of smell and taste. I have personally seen many people with COVID 19 who do not have a fever, some have mild symptoms like a running nose, some have no symptoms. Get tested for COVID 19 for the sake of protecting others and keep isolated until you are sure
