While we’re still in flu season, symptoms of the coronavirus have prompted inevitable confusion over what might be the source: Flu or allergies or coronavirus?

Is COVID-19 pretty much the same type of sickness as the flu or common cold? Or does it pose a much more dire threat to society? Here is what we know:

The Center for Disease Control has partnered with Microsoft's Azure platform to provide a questionnaire, which can help you determine what  the next steps should be if you have been infected with the coronavirus and need to check your symptoms.

Both the flu and coronavirus are thought to be spread primarily through close contact with droplets that are spread from the nose and mouth of an infected person. The CDC recommends keeping a physical distance of about six feet away from others.
