Hi all so today I woke up with flu like aches all over my body and a bad head ache. I keep having diarrhoea aswell. I’m worried it could be corona virus related. I have had a cough aswel I just feel weak and tearful. Such a shit situation.

It may or may not be.

The advice is the same. Look after yourself. Keep drinking. Take paracetamol if you need to.

Follow the online guidelines re CV19. Isolate, and carry on isolating for at least 7 days even if you feel better. If you are struggling to breath then call 999 (if in UK).

Even if it is CV19 the chances are that you will feel rough for a period of time (no-one can say how long - it varies) but you will recover. Quite possibly quickly but it may take longer

First of all, all the best to you!

Don't you have to notify health authorities?
Sorry, I am not in the UK - if I were to develop symptoms like that, I'd have to notify my GP and my local health department, because Corona is classed as a reportable illness (do you say it like that?).
