Contact – Agencies:

Researchers confirmed that there are symptoms that make the early signs that warn of the risk of infection with the emerging corona virus “Covid 19”, indicating that these symptoms come suddenly in the first seven days after the onset of the disease, according to a list of the most common symptoms reported by patients, according to “Kings College.” “London.

The researchers said, according to the British newspaper, “Mirror”: “We were busy searching for early symptoms of” Covid-19 “, really, because this information is necessary to help us all to stop the spread of the virus in the coming months. If we can detect cases based on symptoms sooner, then people will be able to start isolating themselves in those first few days, and stop the accidental spread of the virus.

Headache and fatigue
Two of the most surprising early warning signs revealed in the study are headache and fatigue.

The researchers said: “Our data show that the most common early symptoms are actually headache (82%) and fatigue (72%) – and this is the case for all age groups. Only 9% of adults with “Covid”, between the ages of 18 and 65, did not experience headache or fatigue.

Despite these high levels, only 1% of people who reported fatigue or headaches through the app ended up being tested for COVID-19.

The researchers added: “While headache and fatigue are common in people with” Covid-19 “(along with other symptoms), it is unlikely that the presence of any or both of these symptoms alone is a sign of disease. What is really unsurprising is that fever, persistent cough and loss of smell were strong early indicators of “Covid-19”.

The team said: “40% of all age groups reported having a fever in the first seven days, and loss of smell and persistent cough are still the main symptoms to watch out for – so people with the three classic symptoms of persistent cough, fever, or loss of smell, should Certainly seek to test “Covid”.
