We recently got a nanny in and i have had a sore throat, nasal congestion, headaches and tiredness since. my 5 month old has also had nasal congestion & has been a little more fussy. could we have covid?

Taking into account we are in the middle of the COVID 19 pandemic. I wonder if this is COIVD 19. It seems like a viral syndrome. Keep isolated. See a doctor via telemedicine

Yes, that is possible. 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.
