The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has tripled the number of coronavirus symptoms it lists on its website.
The federal organization previously listed fever, cough and shortness of breath as symptoms of COVID-19. The CDC has added six additional symptoms as people “have had a wide range of symptoms reported,” it says on its website.
Those who have “trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in
their chest, new confusion or inability to arouse or have bluish lips or
face” should seek immediate medical attention, according to the CDC.
The new symptoms have been reported by many
people who have had the virus. Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, who was one
of the first North American athletes to be diagnosed with the disease,
said after testing positive he hadn’t “been able to smell anything for the last 4 days.”
Cara Vidano, a California woman who suspected she
had the virus last month after her boyfriend had a confirmed case, said
her legs “were so sore.
“It was like we had run a long-distance race,” she told the Press Democrat.
CNN reporter Chris Cuomo was among those who reported having chills. He said he was shivering so much that he chipped a tooth.
Other symptoms for coronavirus may include diarrhea, skin rash, runny nose, red eyes, and fatigue.
