I have an offer this evening, but I can’t stop coughing.
This content is machine-translated.
I think the cough is from pollen and dry air, not COVID. The antigen test was negative too.
I really want to avoid cancelling on the day because it would lower my rating and make offers stop coming, but wouldn’t you hate it if the girl who came to a first meeting was coughing a lot? 😭
I’ve taken a photo with the negative antigen test result and the receipt from the day I bought it.
I’m planning to take another test on the day as well.
I start coughing whenever I talk for a bit.
Should I cancel...?

Since canceling on the day will lower your rating in the system, I think it’s best to go to the meeting place, meet the man, explain the situation, and then leave it up to him to decide what to do next.
Alternatively, contact the staff and firmly tell them:
“I fully intend to go, but I’m worried the other person might not be comfortable with the situation. Could you ask him? If he’s okay with it, I’ll go.”
If the staff kindly says something like, “In that case, wouldn’t it be better to cancel today?” and you take that as reassurance and agree, you may still end up with a lower rating for canceling on the day.
That’s when you wonder, “Are the staff secretly heartless?” (lol)

As Taro said, I think it depends on the other person, but it would probably be best to explain the situation directly to the man through the staff.
Your rating might go down if you cancel, but there’s also a chance it could be affected if you go ahead under those circumstances.

This was before COVID became widespread, but I once came down with a fever of around 38°C on the day of a setting date I had arranged.
I still went to the date location, explained the situation, gave her transportation money, exchanged contact information, and left right away.
Since I’m a man, I can’t really say whether women should do the same.
With a letter date, you don’t have to overthink it—you can simply reschedule if you’re feeling unwell. (Of course, if it keeps happening, you’ll probably get dropped…)
But with a setting date, canceling on the day lowers your rating, so it’s a difficult call…

It might be best to have the staff tell the man exactly what you wrote in your question. After that, it depends on the other person. There’s no harm in doing so.
If you met someone without knowing anything and they kept coughing the entire time, it would bother you. Especially if you’d reserved a private room at a restaurant—you’d have no way to escape.
I’ve been in that situation several times myself, but if she’s someone I’d still like to see, I’d make another offer even if the first meeting had to be canceled.
