All theses symptoms can be because of any viral infection including COVID. But wait for a couple of days or until you get any symptoms like cough, difficulty in breathing, loss of taste and smell before getting COVID to get accurate results.

Fever bodyache can happen in viral fever and also in covid. If you develop cold, cough, throat pain you can go ahead and get tested
