Well, the symptoms according to the NHS are fever, cough and loss of smell/taste. If you have runny nose and sore throat, you don't have coronavirus symptoms. Technically. So you take a LFT, right?

It confuses me how different the rules and "truths" are all over the world.
At least when I caught Delta I had a sore throat and a runny nose to start. That was it for a couple of days.
There was an outbreak in my children's school so the family went to get tested.
It was only after that I got a cough and fever (and positive result). It wasn't until about day five I noticed I couldn't smell.
Public health where I'm at says basically everything is a possible Coronavirus symptom. They list headache, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, congestion, fatigue, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea, inability to smell, and pink eye.
Official guidence:
> There are different tests you can get to check if you have coronavirus (COVID-19). The test you need depends on why you're getting tested.
> The 2 main tests are:
> PCR tests – mainly for people with symptoms, they're sent to a lab to be checked
> rapid lateral flow tests – only for people who do not have symptoms, they give a quick result using a device similar to a pregnancy test
> Both tests are free.
