What is Coronavirus?
Coronavirus (COVID-19) shares symptoms with many other viral infections, making it sometimes challenging to distinguish without testing. The primary symptoms of COVID-19 include:
High Temperature (Fever)
This is one of the most common symptoms, characterized by a body temperature that is significantly higher than normal. It typically indicates the body’s response to fighting off the infection.
Continuous Cough
This symptom involves persistent coughing that can be frequent and severe. It is often dry but can sometimes be productive, meaning it brings up mucus.
Loss or Change to Your Sense of Smell or Taste
Known as anosmia, this symptom involves a noticeable reduction or complete loss of the ability to smell or taste. It can also include changes in the way things taste or smell.
