When the novel coronavirus was first identified in China, patients seemed to develop at least one of three symptoms: fever, a dry cough, and shortness of breath. The data was skewed, however, by the fact that most patients being tested for the virus had severe cases that required hospitalization.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently added six health issues to its official list of COVID-19 symptoms. They include chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and loss of taste or smell.
