Thank you for your question.
First and foremost, I understand your concern regarding this issue of coronavirus since there’s an outbreak of the virus.
Given that you have just returned from Japan which is one of the high risk country for this virus, you are encouraged to answer the quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate your health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories with next appropriate steps that should be taken.
For your information, symptoms of infected persons are such as:

Otherwise, it is difficult for me to make a conclusion if the symptoms you’re having now is due to COVID-19 or not.
