What are the most common symptoms of 'Covid-19'

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak that originated in China. The virus is known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Public health groups, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WHO, are monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and posting updates on their websites. These groups have also issued recommendations for preventing and treating the virus that causes COVID-19.

Symptoms Signs and symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure. This time after exposure and before having symptoms is called the incubation period. You can still spread COVID-19 before you have symptoms (presymptomatic transmission). Common signs and symptoms can include:

Early symptoms of COVID-19 may include a loss of taste or smell. Other symptoms can include:

1. Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

2. Muscle aches

8. Pink eye (conjunctivitis)

This list isn't complete. Children have similar symptoms to adults and generally have mild illness. People who are older have a higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19, and the risk increases with age. People who have existing medical conditions also may have a higher risk of serious illness. Certain medical conditions that may increase the risk of serious illness from COVID-19 include:

1. Serious heart diseases, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathy

3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

4. Type 1 or type 2 diabetes

5. Overweight, obesity or severe obesity

6. High blood pressure

8. Chronic kidney disease

9. Sickle cell disease or thalassemia

10. Weakened immune system from solid organ transplants or bone marrow transplants

13. Chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis or pulmonary hypertension

14. Liver disease

16. Down syndrome

17. Weakened immune system from bone marrow transplant, HIV or some medications

18. Brain and nervous system conditions, such as strokes

19. Substance use disorders

This list is not complete. Other medical conditions may increase your risk of serious illness from COVID-19.

When to see a doctor:

If you have COVID-19 signs symptoms, or you've been in contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19, contact your health care provider right away for medical advice. Your health care provider will likely recommend that you get tested for COVID-19. If you have emergency COVID-19 symptoms, such as trouble breathing, seek care immediately. If you need to go to a hospital, call ahead so that health care providers can take steps to ensure that others aren't exposed.

Women and children living in poverty, with a disability, or in an emergency setting are especially likely to be cut off from services they need to survive and thrive. And the risk of disease and malnutrition soars during conflict, natural disaster and other crises. Through it all, demographic changes threaten to strain global health systems. Children in 2030 will live in a world that is older and more urban. With fertility rates dropping and life expectancies rising, more children and elderly people will be dependent on those in the workforce. At the same time, income growth will shift young people into wealthier, but not necessarily healthier, environments. Public health emergencies and those stemming from environmental causes are also expected to become more frequent.
