“While a high temperature and a loss of taste and smell are common coronavirus symptoms, they are less common for a cold,” said the BHF.
“Symptoms like sneezing or a runny nose [which are typical cold symptoms], aren’t as common for coronavirus.
“If you experience a fever, a new continuous cough, or a change to your sense of taste or smell, you should self-isolate and get a coronavirus test.
“It’s important to remember that the majority of people who get coronavirus only suffer mild symptoms and make a full recovery.”
