Symptoms of COVID-19 vary in severity and may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus:
- no symptoms at all (being asymptomatic)
- fever
- cough
- sore throat
- general weakness
- fatigue
- muscular pain
- new loss of taste or smell (Anosmia/Hyposmia, in some cases in the absence of any other symptoms)
- chills and/or repeated shaking with chills
- severe pneumonia (in the most severe cases)
- acute respiratory distress syndrome
- sepsis and septic shock
All potentially leading to death. Reports show that clinical deterioration can occur rapidly, often during the second week of disease.
