A COVID cough is usually dry and persistent. It's different from a regular cough in that it can last for weeks, rather than days. Some people experience a tightness in their chest and shortness of breath that is accompanied by the cough. It is also common to experience a fever, chills, fatigue, and loss of smell or taste. It is important to note that these symptoms can be similar to other illnesses, so it is important to get tested if you are experiencing a persistent cough.
