Could be, but also sounds like lots of other bugs going round at the moment. I've had similar and tested as was seeing a vulnerable family member. Tests all negative although didn't see them anyway as felt too ill and didn't want to share this lurgy either.

It’s very hard to tell these days as like PP said there are so many nasty viruses/ bugs going round.
I’m still recovering from a 5 week virus which had all of the above symptoms you list (apart from the diarrhoea) but a horrid cough too. Tested several times (as I have elderly mum I care for) and negative for Covid every time.

Keep hydrated and take care. Hope you feel better soon.

As you have tests you may as well use one, surely?

Just test if you need/ want to know Hmm

I had five of those symptoms and was positive. It’s best to test.

Yep. Do a test.
