What are most common symptoms of corona?

Technically, spending 15 minutes within two meters of someone with the virus means a risk of catching it. The infection can develop anything from 1-14 days later. 

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and a dry cough. 

Some people may have aches and pains, a blocked nose, a runny nose, a sore throat, or diarrhea. 

These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don’t feel unwell.  

Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment.  

Around one out of every six people with COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness.
