What Are the Symptoms of COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus that began infecting people in late 2019. Since then, information about this disease has been changed as doctors and researchers learn more about it. But experts have consistently maintained that COVID-19 spreads through person-to-person contact, chiefly through airborne droplets expelled during coughing, sneezing, or even talking. This is why public health experts urge everyone to wear face coverings and observe social distancing guidelines when outside the home, especially indoors.

The most frequently reported symptoms of COVID-19 include:

• Fever or chills
• Coughing
• Shortness of breath
• Headache
• Loss of taste or smell
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

It’s important to note that most people who test positive for COVID-19 experience mild symptoms or even no symptoms at all. However, even if you are asymptomatic, it’s important to isolate from others—especially those who live with you at home—until 10 days have passed since the positive coronavirus test.
