No: May be a pharyngitis not associated with Covid infection. Common symptoms of Covid infection include fever, sore throat, dry cough, fatigue. You should be on the lookout for any of these symptoms, and take into account any recent contacts with positive patients. Consult your physician and arrange for testing if you become suspicious. Stay healthy!
