Covid-19: Typical symptoms of Coronavirus include fever, body aches, fatigue, weakness and occasionally nasal congestion. Since you have more than 2 symptoms, there is a high likelihood that you have the infection. Make sure you self-isolate, drink lots of fluids, rest, and treat your symptoms (acetaminophen, decongestant.) See Dr for difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, new onset confusion/lethargy

COVID 19: This could be a COVID 19 infection. Rest, hydration, acetaminophen, decongestant, cough med & nasal saline irrigation may help mild symptoms. If NSAIDS are used consider Naprosyn. Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, significant & persistent chest pain or new-onset of confusion.
