Fever, dry cough, exhaustion, loss of appetite, absence of smell, and body ache are common COVID-19 symptoms. COVID-19 causes more serious symptoms in certain people, such as a high temperature, a violent cough, and breathlessness, all of which are signs of pneumonia.
For a week, a person's COVID-19 symptoms may be moderate and can then rapidly worsen. If your symptoms deteriorate quickly over a short period, inform your doctor immediately.
Also, if you or a loved one with COVID-19 experiences any of the following emergency symptoms: difficulty breathing, prolonged pain or pressure in the chest, disorientation or inability to awaken the person, or bluish lips or face, call your doctor straight away.
