Corona Virus
The virus infects both the upper and lower respiratory tract. That means it is contagious, and can cause pneumonia. People who are infected initially develop a fever, cough and aches, and can progress to shortness of breath and complications from pneumonia, according to case reports. Of nearly 56,000 patients in China, 87.9% had a fever, 67.7% had a dry cough, 38.1% experienced fatigue and 18.6% had shortness of breath. Other, less common symptoms included sore throat, headache, aches, chills, repeated shaking with chills, vomiting, diarrhea and nasal congestion. Some people report losing the senses of taste and smell.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that people with severe symptoms should seek medical treatment immediately. Those severe symptoms include:
• Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath
• Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
• Bluish lips or face
