What are the symptoms this coronavirus causes?
In the UK, the National health Service (NHS) has stated the symptoms to look for are one of these
• A high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
• A new continuous cough – this means you’ve started coughing repeatedly
The WHO identify that the most common symptoms of Covid-19 are fever, tiredness and a dry cough. Some patients may also have a runny nose, sore throat, nasal congestion and aches and pains or diarrhoea. About 80% of people who get Covid-19 experience a mild case
Treatment and prevention
The NHS advises that anyone with symptoms should:
• Stay at home for at least 7 days.
• If you live with other people, they should stay at home for at least 14 days, to avoid spreading the infection outside the home. This applies to everyone, regardless of whether they have travelled abroad.
You should look on the dedicated coronavirus NHS 111 website for information. If you get worse or your symptoms last longer than seven days, you should call NHS 111. People will no longer be tested for the virus unless they are in hospital.
