What are the Symptoms of COVID-19?
SYMPTOMS of Corellavirus
Symptoms may take up to 14 days to appear after exposure to COVID-19. This is the longest known incubation period for this disease.
Fever
Fever is a key symptom, experts say. Don't fixate on a number, but know it's really not a fever until your temperature reaches to at least 100 degrees.
Cough
Coughing is another key symptom, but it's not just any cough, said Schaffner. It should be a dry cough that you feel in your chest.
Difficulty in Breathing
Shortness of breath can be a third and very serious manifestation of Covid-19 and it can occur on its own, without a cough.
IF YOU START HAVING SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19
Persistent cough, shortness of breath or fever equal to or greater than 38ºC or signs of fever e.g. shivering, flushed skin and excessive sweating.
Immediately isolate yourself from others in your house.
Contact your public health authority as soon.
