What is the incubation period?

The incubation period of the new coronavirus is thought to be as long as 14 days, with an average of 4 to 5 days before symptoms appear. Most people with symptoms of the new coronavirus will develop symptoms within 11.5 days of infection with SARS-CoV-2.

 

What are the symptoms?

People infected with the new coronavirus have reported a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe illness.
Symptoms may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure to the virus.

 

People with these symptoms may be infected with the new coronavirus.

 

●Symptoms of fever and chills
●Symptoms of coughing
●Symptoms of shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
●Symptoms of fatigue
●Symptoms of muscle and body pain
●Symptoms of headache
●Loss of sense of taste and smell
●Symptoms of sore throat
●Symptoms of nasal congestion or runny nose
●Symptoms of nausea or vomiting
●Symptoms of diarrhea

 

Symptoms may vary depending on the severity of the disease. For example, shortness of breath has been reported to be more common in people hospitalized for new coronavirus infections than in those with milder symptoms (patients who have not been hospitalized).
Atypical symptoms of novel coronaviruses occur more frequently, and older people and those with comorbidities are more likely to suffer fever and respiratory symptoms later in the course of their illness than younger people and those without comorbidities. Only 44% of the patients had a fever at the time of admission, but 89% of the patients eventually developed a fever during their hospital stay.
Fatigue, headache, and muscle aches (myalgia) are among the most commonly reported symptoms among those not hospitalized, while sore throat, nasal congestion, and runny nose (rhinorrhea) are also common and prominent symptoms. Most patients with new coronaviruses experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which may occur before fever and lower respiratory signs and symptoms appear. One study reported that symptoms of loss of the sense of smell (anosmia) and loss of taste (loss of taste) are common in one third of infected patients, especially among women and young and middle-aged patients.

Currently, the number of people infected with coronavirus is increasing in Thailand, and it is difficult to secure hospital beds. If you feel that there is a high possibility that you are positive for coronavirus (if you are aware that you have been in close contact with a positive person, or if you have symptoms), we recommend that you go to a general hospital for PCR testing of nasal swabs.
