What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
In order to detect whether you may be a carrier of Coronavirus (COVID-19), it is essential to know the warning signs linked to the infection.
The main symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19) are 3 in number :
- Fever ( body temperature over 38 °): you feel general discomfort, chills, body aches.
- Respiratory discomfort (called dyspnea) : you have trouble breathing or you are more short of breath than usual.
- Dry cough : you experience irritation in the neck, chest or abdomen.
Other secondary symptoms can also occur more rarely such as fatigue or sore throat , nasal congestion .
Asymptomatic patients have also been detected since the start of the pandemic. It is therefore essential to scrupulously apply the barrier gestures as well as the instructions given by the government, even when you do not feel any particular symptoms.
As a reminder, the incubation period for Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a maximum of 14 days . It is defined as the time between contamination and the appearance of the first symptoms of a disease.
If you experience one of the three main symptoms, we invite you to contact your doctor and isolate yourself at home so as not to take any additional risk. If the latter is not available, contact the Hotline at 8002 8080. In case of aggravated symptoms, call 112.
