What about a headache and/or body aches? Been having mild symptoms of this for the last week+ and I'm in a corona hotspot (NYC). Smell seems to be ok, but I'm not sure of a good way to test other than smelling something strong.

Headaches and muscle aches are typically symptoms of normal flu and not COVID if what I read online yesterday is correct (can't recall the source sorry).

I read that a headache is a COVID symptom.

Well Coronaviruses also are sometimes behind " the common flu". Headaches are not unique to Corona.

I saw this image with a table of symptoms and how common they are with COVID-19, a cold, the flu, and allergies:
