When would you class as start of symptoms?

[annie987]

We have a member of our team who developed a runny nose on Thursday and then got a high temperature on Saturday.
They have since tested positive.
Wheh would you class as first symptoms?
Thanks

Saturday, as that's when the covid symptom started. The runny cose could have been anything and may not have been related - it's not recognised as one of the three main symptoms

I'd start on Thursday when the runny nose started. It's not unusual for the testable symptoms to show up a few days into the disease.

Saturday, the runny nose could have been unrelated.
