Is congestion and running nose covid symptom?

Good question: In this day and age, people across the globe worry re. COVID and although you describe a head cold, it never hurts to check whether a PCR viral test may be useful. You see, the signs of a COVID infection can be very nonspecific early on. In my opinion, best to be cautious.

COVID 19 symptoms: Could be a symptom of COVID 19, other viral infections or allergies. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: temp of at least 99.6 F (37.5 C), Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.

Agree with Dr. F: 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.
