COVID-19 has been exhibiting a wide range of symptoms as it continues to mutate. Initially, respiratory symptoms like high fever, cough, and shortness of breath were predominant. However, recently, the symptoms have become more diverse, ranging from mild to severe. Let me explain the symptoms you should pay close attention to in detail.
COVID-19 Symptoms These Days
1. Fever and Chills: One of the most common symptoms of COVID-19, often accompanied by sudden fever and chills. If your body temperature rises above 37.5 degrees Celsius, you should be cautious.
2. Cough: A dry cough or cough with phlegm can persist. Especially if infected with a new variant of the virus, it can start with a mild cough and gradually worsen.
3. Shortness of Breath: In severe cases, breathing may become rapid and difficult. This can indicate a serious condition affecting the lungs, and you should seek immediate medical attention.
4. Fatigue: Persistent fatigue and body aches can be early symptoms of COVID-19 infection. If you feel unusually tired for no apparent reason, consider getting tested.
5. Loss of Taste and Smell: Reduced or loss of taste or smell is one of the characteristic symptoms of COVID-19. If you can't taste or smell anything at all, testing is necessary.
6. Sore Throat: You may experience a sore throat and pain when swallowing. If throat discomfort persists, you should be mindful of the possibility of infection.
7. Muscle Pain: Muscle aches or joint pain can occur throughout the body. Especially if it appears along with other symptoms, caution is needed.

Prevention Methods

2. Using Hand Sanitizer: If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to disinfect your hands.
3. Wearing a Mask: Wear a mask to cover your mouth and nose in public places or crowded areas. Wearing a mask is particularly important when visiting medical facilities or using public transportation.
4. Social Distancing: Maintain a distance of at least 2 meters (about 6 feet) from others. Minimize close contact and avoid unnecessary gatherings or events as much as possible.
5. Cough Etiquette: When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or the inside of your elbow. Dispose of used tissues immediately in a trash can and wash your hands thoroughly.
6. Strengthening Immunity: Maintain a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly to boost your immune system.
