COVID-19 symptoms include cough, fever, fatigue, diarrhea, headache, sputum production, bloody cough and these symptoms are common in influenza and bacterial common cold. Wearing masks helps to reduce or prevent infections caused by pathogens communicable with aerosols and droplets. Flu shots are also helpful. Be healthy!
