Coronavirus Symptoms (COVID-19)

Coronavirus Symptoms

Reported illnesses have ranged from people with mild symptoms to people being severely ill and dying.
Symptoms can include:

Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath

Typical Symptoms

COVID-19 typically causes flu-like symptoms including a fever and cough.
In some patients - particularly the elderly and others with other chronic health conditions - these symptoms can develop into pneumonia, with chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
It seems to start with a fever, followed by a dry cough.
After a week, it can lead to shortness of breath, with about 20% of patients requiring hospital treatment.
Notably, the COVID-19 infection rarely seems to cause a runny nose, sneezing, or sore throat (these symptoms have been observed in only about 5% of patients). Sore throat, sneezing, and stuffy nose are most often signs of a cold.
