I came out positive for Covid-19 on 5th June 2020, and I was a shock, to say the least.

You may have symptoms, you may be seeing it all over the news and social media but you never really expect it to happen to you.

The reason behind my shock was not that I had just gotten myself tested for no reason and possibly wasted a kit, but it was because I did not have the common symptoms that one is expected to have with COVID-19.

This is how my symptoms transformed day after day.

Day 1:

Evening: After painting a few pots in my house in the afternoon, I started to develop itchiness in my nose after a few hours. Almost like a burning sensation. I knew what it was immediately — my usual allergy. Since it was mild I ignored it.

Hardly an hour later I started having a sneeze attack. After sneezing continuously for at least 2 minutes, I decided it was time to take my anti-allergy and sleep it off.
