As with previous pandemics, new variants of the current pandemic virus continue to emerge. Infectious disease expert, Dr. Amesh Adalja, states that previous infections do not offer much “cross protection” against the newer variants. Pandemics in the past indicate that even if we get infected, it generally would not be as bad as before given strengthening herd immunity.<\/p>\n

1. Fever<\/b>. Many people report that they have chills and a fever as their first sign of illness from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

2. Cough<\/b>. A persistent cough is another frequent sign of COVID-19. “If the cough is accompanied by a fever, fatigue and body aches, you may want to consider testing for COVID-19,” says Dr. Loras Even of UnityPoint Health. “We’re especially concerned when a cough worsens, is associated with a fever, or causes breathing problems. Patients experiencing these symptoms should come in for an evaluation.”<\/p>\n

3. Headache and fatigue<\/b>. These symptoms are two of the most common signs of COVID-19, according to health company ZOE, which runs a symptom tracking app for COVID-19. “Only 9% of COVID-positive adults aged 18-65 didn’t experience headache or fatigue,” says the company. “Our data shows that the most commonly experienced early symptoms are actually headaches (82%) and fatigue (72%).”<\/p>\n

4. Loss of smell and taste<\/b>. With the current omicron variant, loss of smell and taste are less common symptoms than they were with earlier variants. “There’s a risk of temporary, and less commonly, permanent loss of smell with any viral infections,” says Dr. Raj Sindwani. “Things get swollen, and the odors just are not getting to the smell receptors that live high in the nose. It happens with the common cold and frequently it happens early in COVID-19 cases as well.<\/p>\n

5. Vomiting and stomach issues<\/b>. According to WebMD, in addition to the other common symptoms of COVID-19, a recent study showed that 1 in 5 people who tested positive for the disease had at least one gastrointestinal symptom, such as diarrhea, vomiting or belly pain. Of those hospitalized, 25.9% had gastrointestinal issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
