Is delirium organic psychosis?

I experienced delirium before my sz from alcohol intoxication. I was hearing voices. I feel that I am mildly experiencing it now with covid19, yesterday I had visual hallucinations, shadows, mainly when fever is high. (Was 37.6C).

“Paranoid hallucinations plague many coronavirus patients in I.C.U.s, an experience that can slow recovery and increase risk of depression and cognitive issues.”

Should I tell my psychiatrist that I have covid19?
I didn’t tell him today during the phone apt.

Ive been delirious before its alot like psychosis

Delirium is a term I usually attach to fevers. They are synonyms I think.
