Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Until now, the corona virus is still a new thing for the community. Many also do not know how it is transmitted, the symptoms and signs of infection.
Apparently, there are several signs that a person does not realize if he has been infected with COVID-19. Usually, someone who is exposed to the corona virus will experience a variety of distinctive symptoms while others will not feel symptoms until they recover.
Quoted from the Daily Star, scientist Dr. Dominic Piment said as many as 80 percent of Covid-19 patients had mild symptoms or had no symptoms at all.
Here are some of the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 that you didn’t realize were quoted by Detik Health.
1. Gastroenteritis problem
When a Corona patient’s body is infected with COVID-19, the signs that can occur are vomiting and diarrhea. Although only 4 percent of patients experience it, a person also needs to be tested for COVID-19 if the condition appears accompanied by coughing, shortness of breath, and high body temperature.
2. Sore throat
The second sign is a sore throat. When the voice is hoarse, it could be caused by fatigue or having a cold. However, a hoarse voice due to a sore throat can be a sign that someone has been exposed to COVID-19.
This is because more than 52.2% of COVID-19 patients actually experience this condition as their initial symptom.
3. Fatigue
The third sign and symptom of COVID-19 is if someone who feels very tired for a week or more can’t even remember anything for a while, it could be that that person has been exposed to COVID-19. About 60 percent of people say they feel tired when they are infected with the Corona virus.
4. Losing the ability to smell and taste
The next sign is a loss of the ability to smell and taste. If you have or are experiencing these symptoms, immediately isolate and take a COVID-19 test to find out whether you have been exposed to the virus or not.
5. Headache
Headaches can also be a symptom of a person if they are infected with the Corona virus. This symptom is also one of the signs that are not realized. Because someone may not pay too much attention to the difference between ordinary headaches and headaches due to COVID-19.
About 70 percent of COVID-19 patients admit that they experience headaches.
