Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have published a complete list of early symptoms of coronavirus – there were eleven of them. Scientists note that they analyzed thousands of cases of the disease.
Most often, patients experienced fatigue, headache, sore throat, fever, and a sudden loss of taste and smell. However, the researchers note that not in all cases the symptoms appear at the same time, in rare cases they do not appear at all. Also, patients often complained of diarrhea, shortness of breath, headache and nausea.
The scientists also added that fever and fatigue tend to appear before other symptoms. At the same time, in most patients, the symptoms were initially mild, but intensified with the course of the disease.

Despite the similarity to the common cold, COVID-19 has dire consequences that the human body can endure for weeks or even months after diagnosis. The scientists added that many patients may experience symptoms that last several months, most often fatigue and loss of smell. The coronavirus can also affect a person’s cognitive abilities.
A university study involving 84,000 people found that coronavirus patients “perform poorly on cognitive tests despite their young age and other demographics.”
Some of the cognitive deficits include memory loss, difficulty concentrating for a long period of time, and even minor personality changes.
