The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have added six new symptoms of COVID-19. Previously he had listed only three symptoms: fever, cough, and shortness of breath. The CDC now said that chills, repeated tremors with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and a sudden loss of taste or smell were also common indicators of the coronavirus.
According to the CDC, the list of emergency warning signs included trouble breathing, persistent chest pain or pressure, new confusion or inability to wake up, and bluish lips or face. People experiencing those symptoms should seek medical attention immediately, the CDC suggested.
Losing your sense of smell and taste may be the best way to find out if you have COVID-19, according to a study of data gathered through a symptom-tracking app developed by scientists in Britain and the United States.
However, the World Health Organization has not yet included these symptoms.
COVID-19 has infected more than 3 million people and has killed at least 210,000 worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University. The World Health Organization says there are concerns about growing trends in Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and parts of Asia. More than 56,000 people have died in the United States, representing more than a quarter of all deaths worldwide.
The total number of coronavirus cases in India increased to 29,435 after 1,543 new cases of COVID-19 were reported in the past 24 hours. The death toll rose to 934. India is under national closure until May 3 to stem the spread of the virus.
