A Must-Read: What Are The Symptoms Of #Coronavirus?

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CORONAVIRUS?

Image may contain: text
Like other coronaviruses, including those that cause the common cold and that triggered SARS, COVID-19 is a respiratory illness.  
  • The most common symptoms are: 
  • Fever 
  • Dry cough 
  • Shortness of breath
  • Difficulty breathing 
  • Fatigue 
Although having a runny nose doesn't rule out coronavirus, it doesn't thus far appear to be a primary symptom. 
Most people only become mildly ill, but the infection can turn serious and even deadly, especially for those who are older or have underlying health conditions.  
In these cases, patients develop pneumonia, which can cause: 
  • Potentially with yellow, green or bloody mucus
  • Fever, sweating and shaking chills
  • Shortness of breath 
  • Rapid or shallow breathing 
  • Pain when breathing, especially when breathing deeply or coughing 
  • Low appetite, energy and fatigue 
  • Nausea and vomiting (more common in children) 
  • Confusion (more common in elderly people)
  • Some patients have also reported diarrhea and kidney failure has occasionally been a complication. 
Avoid people with these symptoms. If you develop them, call your health care provider before going to the hospital or doctor, so they and you can prepare to minimize possible exposure if they suspect you have coronavirus.
