Variable symptoms...: The most common symptoms of Covid-19 continue to be upper respiratory-like sore throat, runny nose, aches and pains, fever, headache, etc. But, the sudden loss of taste and smell is quite specific for Covid so anyone who experiences this needs to get tested ASAP. Some people get GI symptoms like nausea/vomiting, diarrhea. What comes first varies by patient so get tested if you have concerns.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately.
