Coronavirus Symptoms (COVID-19)
Last updated: February 29, 4:40 GMT – We will continue to update and improve this page as we gather new information and details.
Reported illnesses have ranged from people with mild symptoms to people being severely ill and dying.
Symptoms can include:
- Fever
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
Typical Symptoms
COVID-19 typically causes flu-like symptoms including a fever and cough.
In some patients – particularly the elderly and others with other chronic health conditions – these symptoms can develop into pneumonia, with chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
It seems to start with a fever, followed by a dry cough.
After a week, it can lead to shortness of breath, with about 20% of patients requiring hospital treatment.
Notably, the COVID-19 infection rarely seems to cause a runny nose, sneezing, or sore throat (these symptoms have been observed in only about 5% of patients). Sore throat, sneezing, and stuffy nose are most often signs of a cold.
