Get tested...: These symptoms could be due to Covid-19 so you should isolate until you get a test and get the results. These symptoms could also be due to a different viral infection so, once you get your test results, call your primary care doctor for further care. If you test positive, you will need to isolate for at least 10 days. Best of luck to you!!
