Greetings!
Thank you for your question. Based on your complaint, you are now just having flu. For your information, if your colleague is positive for COVID-19, you are then called a direct contact of a COVID-19 patient. However, you may 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. An instruction will be given at the end of the quiz. Please act accordingly.
Otherwise, there are other illnesses that may bring about the symptoms that you have mentioned. For example:
- Other bacterial or viral infection like common cold
- Asthma
- Allergic Rhinitis
- Pneumonia
- Tuberculosis
- COPD
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.
After 5.00 pm till 12.00 am, please direct your enquiries to our DoctorOnCall website at this link https://www.doctoroncall.com.my/tanya/.
Thank you once again and I hope my answer has helped alleviate some of your worries.
