I tested positive 4 weeks ago and had a mild case and I'm in my early twenties. I was very active before coronavirus and now that I've returned to my workouts it strains my chest. I feel chest tightness and cough if I take a long walk or go for a jog. Does anyone else have symptoms that flare up when exercising?

    it may take a while for you to feel fully recovered. Even though you had a mild case, this virus is pretty strong and your body has been through a lot. Just take it slow at first and go at your own pace. Don’t try to push it. Make sure you’re staying very hydrated with water. we may just have to adjust the way we do things now since we don’t know everything yet about this crazy virus. Take care
