Beware of a sore throat that you experience, it could be a symptom of Covid-19

PR BEKASI – Symptoms of COVID-19 from one person to another can vary and a sore throat can be one of them.

In respiratory diseases such as flu, a sore throat is often the first symptom because the virus is inhaled and then first passes into the nose and throat then replicates there causing sore throat and irritation.

Quoted Pikiranrakyat-Bekasi.com from the Antara news site, it turns out that a sore throat is not a common symptom of COVID-19.

In general, the more common signs of COVID-19 include fever, cough that can be dry or wet, and tired.
