Stages and symptoms of the coronavirus named

Infectionists emphasize that coronavirus disease cannot be compared to the flu, as it is a long-term illness.

Infectious disease specialist Olga Golubovskaya in a briefing on Thursday, October 22, spoke about the three phases of the development of the coronavirus. Furthermore, about 80% of patients recover in the first stage of the disease.

Golubovskaya emphasized that this virus cannot be compared to the flu.

“This disease has nothing to do with influenza. Neither in terms of the burden on the health system, nor in the consequences for the patient. Coronavirus infection is a long-term disease,” he said.

Golubovskaya spoke about three stages in the development of COVID-19:

The first stage is the first week of the disease, when patients generally feel practically healthy. In 80% of people, the disease ends at this stage. Patients need to see a doctor, take vitamins. The infectious disease specialist urged not taking antibacterial and hormonal drugs.

The second stage: in this phase, from 10 to 30% of cases. This is the defeat of organs and body systems. All treatments aim to contain the “storm” of the immune system. This phase lasts up to three weeks. All treatment methods apply.

The third stage is the “postcoid syndrome.” Patients must be monitored. A person can be on sick leave for up to a month after recovery.
