CDC Says Three COVID-19 Symptoms Are Most Common

While a wide range of symptoms can accompany the coronavirus, the CDC says a large majority of patients in a recent study exhibited one of three symptoms: fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

Around 45% had all three of those symptoms. The most common symptom was cough (84%) followed by fever (80%). Coronavirus patients also showed other symptoms, including chills, muscle pain, headaches, fatigue, and digestive problems such as nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhoea.
