Quoted from Business Insider, A study by the University of Wuhan, China, of around 140 patients at Zhongnan Hospital, identified a common pattern of symptoms associated with Covid-19.
Up to 99 percent of the patients had a fever with a high temperature, while more than half had a dry cough. While a third experiences muscle pain and shortness of breath.
Infection process
Launch from ForbesIn the process of infecting, the virus needs to enter the respiratory tract to hijack the cellular machinery and use it to reproduce.
Symptoms will appear when finally someone who is infected and their antibodies begin to try to fight the virus.
This period is usually shorter than the incubation period. Usually only about 24 to 48 hours or less than that.
At that point, a person will likely begin to transmit the virus at least a day or two before they show symptoms.

Quoting from Quick experts believe that symptoms generally do not appear immediately after a person becomes infected.

Day-to-day symptoms
The symptoms of the coronavirus day by day are the following:
Day 1: The symptoms are mild. Patients often experience a fever followed by a cough.
A minority may have had diarrhea or nausea a day or two before, which could be a sign of a more serious infection.
Day 3: This is the average hospitalization time for patients in Wenzhou after symptoms begin to appear.
A study of more than 550 hospitals in China also found that patients admitted to the hospital developed pneumonia, or inflammation of the lungs caused by an infection, on the third day of their illness.
Day 5: In severe cases, symptoms may start to get worse.
Patients may have difficulty breathing, especially if they are older or have a pre-existing or comorbid health condition.
Day 7: This is the average time it takes for some patients in Wuhan to be hospitalized after symptoms start to appear.

Day 8: At this point, patients with severe cases are likely to develop shortness of breath, pneumonia, or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), conditions that may require intubation. ARDS is often fatal.
Day 9: Several Wuhan patients developed sepsis, an infection caused by an aggressive immune response, starting today.
Days 10 to 11: If the patient has symptoms that are getting worse, this is the time the disease progresses when they are most likely to be admitted to the ICU.
These patients may experience more abdominal pain and loss of appetite than patients with milder cases.
Day 12: In some cases, patients do not develop ARDS until almost two weeks after the onset of the disease.
One study found that it took an average of 12 days before patients were admitted to the ICU.
While recovering and recovering patients may have the fever gone after 12 days.
