The Center for Disease Control has updated its list of symptoms people experience when they get sick from the coronavirus.
The new list includes six new symptoms. For more than a month, the only official symptoms of coronavirus were fever, cough and shortness of breath.
The news symptoms added on April 24, 2020:
- Chills
- Repeated shaking with chills
- Muscle pain
- Headache
- Sore throat
- New loss of taste or smell
The updated symptoms list also add "difficulty breathing" to the description of "shortness of breath."
The CDC's website mentioned that man symptoms can appear two to 14 days after exposure to the coronavirus.
The CDC advises seeking immediate medical attention if you experience trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, bluish lips or face, or new confusion or inability to arouse — but it adds that the list is not comprehensive.
