Check Your Symptoms
If you’re having COVID-like symptoms, stay home and away from others. You may also consider getting a COVID-19 test (find testing locations here).
Symptoms typically appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus and can include:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting

You can check your symptoms using the CDC Coronavirus Self-Checker tool. Adults over the age of 65 and people of any age with underlying health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and lung disease are at higher risk of serious illness due to COVID-19.
