Coronavirus symptoms can mimic those of the flu, allergies, or the common cold. If you are experiencing symptoms, testing is the only way to know whether you have COVID-19. Although variants of this virus have generally led to milder forms of the disease, mutations can occur at any time that can lead to different or more severe symptoms. Wearing a mask, isolating when you are symptomatic, and getting vaccinated are the best ways to stop the spread of COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention releases new updates about COVID-19 every Monday and Friday on the COVID Data Tracker site.
