    It's very likely.  Go to your closest hospital and demand an immediate test.

    No.  It could be a regular flu.

    No, but it is certainly possible. It could be Covid-19 or it could be any number of other viruses.  There are dozens of influenza strains and other viral infections from pneumonia to the common cold that have very similar symptoms.  The only way to know for sure it to get tested. 

    Your best option is to get tested ASAP and isolated yourself until your test results come back. Call your doctor if you feel you need medical treatment.

    The flu and covid have similar symptoms but they're different viruses. Just because you have the flu, that doesn't mean you have covid. But you could contract the flu and covid at the same time. 

    If you think you could have been exposed to covid, then you could have it. To know for sure if you have covid or not, you should call your doctor and see if you should be tested.

    if you seem to have specific symptoms related to Covid19 like loss of taste and smell or difficulty breathing apart from the basic flu symptoms, then you're more likely to have Covid19 and you should get tested to confirm
