Not necessarily..
If your symptoms persists do visit the Covid center for a test.
Perhaps, before that, it is advisable to reach to a therapist and understand yourself and to cope up with your Anxieties..

I understand what you must be facing. Yes it's stressful time for everyone. I assume that you are spending your time more on news channels. I suggest you first stop watching repeated news for a day. For awareness it's good but to overwhelming it is not good and this will impact your health too.
To check the covid-19 symptoms there is Aarogya Setu covid-19 app by government. And for stress and depression please contact with Psychologist or Psychiatrist to help you best.

Anxiety or any other illness CANNOT lead to Coronavirus symptoms. Many people suffer from anxiety daily. And with the general public now experiencing anxiety about COVID-19, those regular anxiety sufferers could feel that things have reached a new level of panic—perhaps resulting in a list of symptoms that are similar to those of the coronavirus (i.e., shortness of breath, shivers, excessive sweating, etc.).
Coronavirus can cause a fever; and while in some extreme cases, anxiety can cause a fever, it’s very rare. People with COVID-19 usually have a fever along with coughing and difficulty breathing; since anxiety doesn’t cause coughing
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist for more indepth understanding and intervention of your anxiety issues.
