COVID-19 Symptoms
As per World Health Organisation (WHO), the main symptoms of the coronavirus usually include:
-
Tiredness
-
Cough
-
Fever
-
Difficulty breathing (severe cases)
Some people may also have “aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea”.
WHO also said that “These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don’t feel unwell”.
The incubation period for the virus is 14 days, which means the symptoms may occur in between that time if you have Corona Virus.
If you have serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing, call 000 for urgent medical help.
All these symptoms are quite similar to flu and cold hence many people are confused about how to determine whether they are infected or not.
To reduce the confusion the Australian Government has a symptoms checker that can be used to make a decision to some extent. below is the link for the same.
