I have been coughing with fever, catarrh, poor appetite and sore throat for the past five days. I want to know if this can be a Covid-19 Infection since I recently attended a wedding event. I also will like to know what to do.

Yes, all the signs and symptoms are similar to that of a Covid-19 infection. It is important for you to go for a Covid Test and isolate for the next seven days if your test is positive.
