What to do if suspect get the virus?
I’m 36’s women. Had 2 days fever since Saturday but recovered. Coughing long times already. Sometimes had nose block.
Because I’d a bit nose sensitive and always get cough will take quite long times, so I don’t think this’s related with the Covid-19.
But this 2 days I found that my nose seem can’t smell anything nor smelly or fragrant, no feel on it. May I know is that any problem related with the virus?

Greetings!
Thank you for your question. For your information, a blocked nose or flu can affect your sense of smell. This is because the mucus blocks your smell receptors. Hence, you may have difficulty in smelling and even tasting as your sense of smell is related to your sense of taste. According to WHO, the common symptoms of COVID-19 infection are:
- Fever (more than 37.5 degrees celcius)
- Fatigue
- Cough
- Aches and pains
- Sorethroat
- Headaches
- Shortness of breath
You may consult a MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
