Early symptoms of COVID-19

The symptoms of novel coronavirus pneumonia are non-specific. In the early stage, fever, dry cough and fatigue are the main symptoms. Some patients have decreased or lost sense of smell and taste as the first symptoms. A few patients have nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, conjunctivitis, myalgia and diarrhea. Some patients may not have clinical manifestations at the initial stage of infection with novel coronavirus, and then will have clinical manifestations, that is, "asymptomatic infection" in the incubation period.

Therefore, we should continue to do a good job of self health monitoring at ordinary times. If there are suspicious symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, cough, stuffy nose, hypoesthesia and other respiratory symptoms, as well as dry cough, fatigue, and at the same time, if there are areas with high risk or patients who have been exposed to fever, we must go to the fever clinic of the hospital for novel coronavirus nucleic acid testing.

It is suggested that everyone should actively vaccinate against COVID-19 vaccine, adhere to self-protection, wear masks, keep social distance, pay attention to personal hygiene, and maintain indoor ventilation. Try to avoid activities in places where people gather, the space is closed and the ventilation is poor.
