New symptoms of COVID-19

New symptoms have been added to the growing list of COVID-19 symptoms. They include runny nose or congestion, nausea, and diarrhoea

The new symptoms are likely to appear between two to 14 days after exposure to the virus.

The CDC reports that anyone with the following symptoms may have COVID-19:

Fever or chills
A cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhoea

“This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19,” the website states.

The US federal department also warned:

“Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.”

This comes as almost 10million people have been infected by the disease worldwide with nearly 500,000 deaths.
