Perm doctors told how to distinguish coronavirus infection from SARS and influenza.
According to doctors, the incubation period of COVID-19 can last more than two weeks. In this case, the time may be longer if the transmission of the virus originated from animals.
As noted by the Permian doctors, the symptoms of coronavirus infection are similar to pneumonia or even severe acute respiratory syndrome:
– In the course of progressive destruction of the lungs, loss of consciousness is possible
– Dry cough
– Fever and fever up to 38 degrees and above, chills
– Difficulty breathing
– chest pain
– Headache
– Muscle pain
– General malaise.
With a mild form of COVID-19, patients have a mild fever, mild headache, fatigue, sore throat, coughing, muscle aches, mild signs of a cold, pallor, and chills.
Unlike coronavirus, with acute respiratory viral infections and colds, patients have a wet, not dry cough. In addition, there is always a stuffy nose and a runny nose. However, there are similar symptoms – fever and headache. In turn, in order not to confuse the symptoms of coronavirus infection with the flu, you need to remember that with the flu there is no shortness of breath or other breathing problems, and the temperature is almost always very high.
Recall that over the past day in the Perm Territory a new anti-record for the incidence of coroavnirus was set. In the region, 109 cases of infection were detected – this is the highest figure for the entire pandemic.
