Brief Answer:
It is less likely to be Covid-19

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is less likely to be Covid-19 as it usually takes more than 4-6 weeks to recover. It could have been flu. Flu has very similar symptoms.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
