A fact is something that is true and supported by evidence.

2.     Dry cough, fever and tiredness are the most common symptoms of COVID-19.

3.     Social distancing and wearing of facemask will help lessen the spread of the virus.

An opinion is only a belief. It is also an expression of a person's feelings.

To find out if a statement is an opinion, ask yourself,
