What symptoms should I look for?
Common symptoms of Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, include fever, a dry cough, fatigue, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, headache, a loss of the sense of taste or smell and difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The illness can cause lung lesions and pneumonia. Some of these symptoms overlap with those of the flu, making detection difficult, but runny noses and stuffy sinuses [Swedish: täppta bihålor] are less common.
Patients may also exhibit gastrointestinal problems [Swedish: googla 'astrointestinala problem'] or diarrhea; we are contnuing to learn about different symptoms over time.
