CDC Updated Symptom List
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have updated their symptom list for COVID-19 to include 6 additional potential signs of infection. It is important to watch for all, both original and newly added symptoms, especially in combinations of two or more of the following:
Original Symptoms | Number of AZCOVIDTXT Households Reporting These Symptoms | Newly Added Symptoms | Number of AZCOVIDTXT Households Reporting These Symptoms |
---|---|---|---|
Fever | 44 | Chills | 25 |
Cough | 69 | Repeated shaking with chills | N/A |
Shortness of breath | 32 | Muscle pain | 62 |
Headache | 70 | ||
Sore throat | 45 | ||
New loss of taste or smell | 12 |
Symptoms usually appear between 2-14 days after exposure; however, it is important to remember that many people who have the virus do not show any symptoms, so make sure to practice social distancing and follow the CDC guidelines even if you feel healthy.
Based on AZCOVIDTXT households with at least one person reporting COVID-19 symptoms, the top three most common symptoms are fatigue, headache, and cough.
