Quoted from Business Insider, A study conducted by the Wuhan University, China of about 140 patients at Zhongnan Hospital identified a common pattern of symptoms associated with Covid-19.

As many as 99 percent of the patients had a fever with a high temperature, while more than half had a dry cough. While a third experience muscle pain and difficulty breathing.

Infection process

Launch from Forbes, in the process of infecting, the virus needs to enter the respiratory tract to hijack the cell machinery and use it to reproduce.

Symptoms will appear when eventually someone who is infected and their antibodies start fighting the virus.

This period is usually shorter than the incubation period. Generally only about 24 to 48 hours or shorter than that.

At that time a person will probably start transmitting the virus at least one to two days before a person shows symptoms.
