Since the new coronavirus was first discovered in Wuhan, China on December 2, 2019, this virus has spread worldwide. This year, in addition to the need to protect against influenza and other respiratory viruses, people should also be concerned about COVID-19. However, the symptoms of COVID-19 are very similar to the symptoms of cold and flu, so we must be able to distinguish the difference between the two.
Marie-Louise Landry, an infectious disease specialist and clinical virology laboratory at Yale Medical School, said four common human coronaviruses can cause 15 to 30% of the common cold, and most people will become infected with one in some time in their lives. Or many of these viruses. So how is COVID-19 different from cold and flu symptoms?
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the USA, cold symptoms usually peak in 2 to 3 days, including the following symptoms: sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, runny nose, tearing, few people will have a fever, etc. Although some cold symptoms (especially a runny nose, stuffy nose, and cough) can last up to 10 to 14 days, according to the CDC, these symptoms usually improve during this time.

Regarding the symptoms of the new coronavirus, from the confirmed report of the COVID-19 case, it can be found that the symptoms vary from mild to severe illness or even death. Typically, the following conditions will occur 2 to 14 days after infection, including: fever, cough, rapid breathing, pneumonia. Only 5% of patients have these rare symptoms, such as a sore throat and runny nose; 1-2% of patients have diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Colds generally do not cause any serious health problems, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections, hospitalization, or death. This is very different from influenza. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), influenza causes 290,000 to 650,000 deaths worldwide each year. As for COVID-19, as of March 23, the number of people diagnosed worldwide was 334,000, and the death rate was 3.4%.
According to the CDC, there is currently no cure for colds, such as COVID-19, although researchers are currently looking for preventable treatments and vaccines for the new coronavirus. COVID-19 is almost the same as common cold and flu prevention methods. For example, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Do not touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with your unwashed hands. Avoid close contact with sick people. At home, and constantly disinfect items and surfaces that are in frequent contact.
Note: The above data is changing at any time, see information from the health department.
