COVID-19 symptoms: Fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue are likely indicators of COVID-19. Some individuals may not have any symptoms are all. Has the patient had any contact with someone who is positive? Another family member infected? Remember to wash your hands before and after taking care of a patient. If symptoms of fever greater than 101, shortness of breath, lethargy. Need evaluation at ER.
