Symptoms of Coronavirus

COVID-19 is a respiratory condition caused by a coronavirus. Some people are infected but don’t notice any symptoms. Most people will have mild symptoms and get better on their own. But about 1 in 6 will have severe problems, such as trouble breathing . The odds of more serious symptoms are higher if you’re older or have another health condition like diabities or heart disease.

Here’s what to look for if you think you might have COVID-19.

Common Symptoms

Researchers in China found that the most common symptoms among people who were hospitalized with COVID-19 include:

  • Fever: 99%
  • Fatigue:70%
  • A dry cough: 59%
  • Loss of appetite: 40%
  • Body aches: 35%
  • Shortness of breath: 31%
  • Mucus or phlegm: 27%

Symptoms usually begin 2 to 14 days after you come into contact with the virus.


Other symptoms may include:

  • Sore throat
  • Headache
  • Chills, sometimes with shaking
  • Loss of smell or taste
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

Emergency Symptoms

Call a doctor or hospital right away if you have one or more of these COVID-19 symptoms:

  • trouble breathing
  • Constant pain or pressure in your chest
  • Bluish lips or face
  • Sudden confusion

You need medical care as soon as possible.This will help them prepare to treat you and protect medical staff and other patients.

Strokes have also been reported in some people who have COVID-19. Remember FAST:

  • Face - Is one side of the person’s face numb or drooping? Is their smile lopsided?
  • Arms -Is one arm weak or numb? If they try to raise both arms, does one arm sag?
  • Speech - Can they speak clearly? Ask them to repeat a sentence.
  • Time - Every minute counts when someone shows signs of a stroke. Call 911 right away.

Lab tests can tell if COVID-19 is what’s causing your symptoms. But the tests can be hard to find, and there’s no treatment if you do have the disease. So you don’t need to get tested if you have no symptoms or only mild ones. 

How to Protect Yourself

Take these steps to prevent COVID-19:

  • Wash your hands often, for at least 20 seconds each time, with soap and water.
  • Use an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if you don't have to soap and water handy.
  • Limit your contact with other people. Stay at least 6 feet away from others if you have to go out.
  • Wear a cloth face mask in public places.
  • Avoid people who are sick.
  • Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth unless you’ve just washed your hands.
  • Regularly clean and disinfect surfaces that you touch a lot.
