No.

A symptom is something that is caused by infection/exposure to something else. For example, a symptom of viral meningitis is a severe headache, due to increased intra-cranial pressure.

The virus on the otherhand, is the pathogen (such as a bug) that causes you to become ill and have symptoms.
