COVID 19 vs cold: Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: temp of at least 99.6 F (37.5 C), Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. The only way to know for sure is through testing.

COVID 19 : The coronavirus is a type of virus known for years to cause common colds. The mutated COVID 19 coronavirus causes cold like symptoms plus more. I have seen several people with just "colds" having COVID 19. Keep isolated and get tested.
