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 temperature reaches 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 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.

HOW IT IS SPREAD

Coronaviruses are most commonly spread from an infected person through:

  • Respiratory droplets when you cough or sneeze
  • Close personal contact,such as touching or shaking hands
  • Touching something with the virus on it,then touching your eyes,nose or mouth before washing your hands

These viruses are not known to spread through ventilation systems or through water.
