Possibly: These could be symptoms of Covid infection, but could also be due to influenza, or common cold. If you have been in contact with others who have or may have covid, you should be more concerned. Please consult your physician, and arrange for testing if you are concerned. Meanwhile you can treat symptoms with rest, increased fluid intake, and acetaminophen. Good luck. Best of health to you!

Good idea: In South Africa a medical provider will determine need for COVID 19 testing. Consult your local primary care provider or you can use telemedicine (to include HealthTap’s telemedicine format) for individual consultations. There are a number of free apps to look at your risk.
