Travel history: Travel is a potential for transmission of COVID 19. You may have anxiety and should reduce stress. Self isolate and have another COVID 19 screening test. Continue to monitor your temperature and for symptoms.

Uncertain: If you have cough & shortness of breath and live in or have recently traveled to a high COVID 19 risk area - COVID is a possibility. Now if your symptoms are identical to panic attacks you have experienced in the past - that would be another issue. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.
