Definitely: COVID is a possibility, given your symptoms typical for a viral infection. Time to get your GP involved so that you can have your condition addressed timely. Quarantine and testing should be in place.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Contact your doctor/local hospital, by phone for evaluation and testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Get Covid vaccine. Wish you good health.
