Signs to look out for Corona
Since today i have runny nose and mild sore throat. Feel feverish but thermometer shows normal temperature (97.8 highest). I went out just once on 2nd September that too with mask and gloves. Went out for an hour to orthopedist clinic. What signs should i note for Corona? And is there a way to distinguish between normal cold and Corona?

Madam pls dont get panic.
The most common cause of common cold is Corona itself. But here we r dealing with novel Corona.
Look for any other symptoms.
If proper precautions have been taken nothing to worry much

Covid symptoms differs from each person.. sometimes it just present like normal flu.. in some cases without any symptoms also people are tested positive.. so in your case just monitor your symptoms.. record your temperature and oxygen levels every 6 hours.. nasal blockage, dry cough, chest discomfort, or more symptoms just inform the health authorities nearby.. meanwhile do salt water gargling, steam inhalation, drink plenty of warm liquids etc
