Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States have named five symptoms that probably indicate infection with the coronavirus COVID-19, in the case of which a person should immediately see a doctor. This became known to the information and news portal KURSK.COM.
A Citizens’ Guide with recommendations was published on the CDC portal (.pdf).
Specialists of the CDC recommend urgently seeking medical help if the following symptoms appear:
- labored breathing,
- feeling of pain and tightness in the chest,
- confusion of consciousness
- inability to wake up
- blue lips and face.
The combination of these signs may indicate not only that a person is a carrier of the COVID-19 virus, but also that he needs medical attention.
