Summary
A 31-year-old woman in the USA fell ill with fatigue and a cough on 6 May 2021 and tested positive for COVID-19. She had a sore throat, brief chills and warped smell and taste but no fever, and by late May was back at work feeling great. After two weeks of spring cleaning at work she had a possible small relapse in early June with cough, tiredness and shoulder and chest pain, which had largely settled within days.
