I've had a mild cold for a few days. I've heard that sometimes covid-19 can be similar to a mild cold. Is this true?

The COVID-19 virus is more similar to the flu and presents with more severe symptoms than a typical cold. It can include symptoms like a sore throat, coughing, and fever, and in some cases, can lead to pneumonia and respiratory difficulties. If you suspect you have been in contact with someone who potentially has COVID-19, it is recommended to call a hotline for guidance on whether you should get tested. Following social distancing measures and proper precautions can help reduce the risk of contracting the virus. If you have any further questions or concerns, it is best to seek advice from a healthcare professional.
