Brief Answer:
No its most likely NOT Coronavirus

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Taking warm fluids is good enough for now. It does not seem to be Coronavirus induced cough.
However continue taking your precautions for few weeks against Coronavirus. If symptoms get worse, then get tested as this test is being offered to community for few days.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kindly self isolate

If you suspect that you maybe exposed to corona, then kindly self-isolate yourself at home with adequate supplies to last for 2 weeks to a month. Keep a distance of 6 ft from everyone. This is best way to deal with mild symptoms. Simply tell your HR that you are self-isolating and they will understand.
