COVID-19 symptoms: 10 key indicators and what to do
Scientists are learning more every day about the mysterious new coronavirus (COVID-19) and the symptoms of covid-19, the disease it causes.
Fever, cough, and shortness of breath are found in the vast majority of all cases of covid-19. But there are additional signs of the virus, some very much like a cold or flu, and others that are more unusual.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the US, any or all of the symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure to the virus.
Here are 10 signs that you or someone you love may have covid-19, and what to do to protect yourself and your family.
1. Shortness of breath
2. Fever
3. Dry cough
4. Chills and body aches
5. Sudden confusion
6. Digestive problems
7. Conjunctivitis
8. Loss of smell and taste
9. Fatigue
10. Headache, sore throat, congestion
"Right now, the current orientation, and this may change, is that if you have cold and flu-like symptoms and these are mild to moderate symptoms, stay home and try to control them" with rest, hydration, and medication to reduce fever.
That advice doesn't apply if you're over 60, as the immune system weakens as we age or if you're pregnant. Anyone with concerns about the coronavirus should call their healthcare provider.
