Sore throat : Your describing symptoms of an upper respiratory infection that indeed can be caused by a virus. It is important for you to isolate herself from others, wash your hands, rest, uses a mask if necessary, and have a COVID virus antigen test if you want to confirm that this is the type of virus you may have contracted.
