This disease can be asymptomatic or, in its signs, be similar to seasonal SARS. Therefore, people who have been ill with COVID-19 can be much more than official statistics say. Some specific symptoms may indicate that you have already suffered coronavirus.

Thus, according to scientists from the University of Oxford, there are five “mild” symptoms (without fever, dry cough or chills) that may indicate that it is coronavirus.

Loss of smell

One of the most common symptoms of the disease is loss of smell. These data were confirmed by scientists from all over the world. As scientists have found, some cells in the nose contain proteins that the SARS-CoV-2 strain hits first. This is how the infection enters the body. Such people become “excellent” carriers of infection, since they often do not understand that they are sick.

Abdominal pain

In some patients, abdominal pain may be an independent symptom. But sometimes it can mean the development of pneumonia in the lower lobes of the lungs. Therefore, this symptom should be taken carefully.

Diarrhea

Such a symptom was identified by research by Chinese scientists. So, in Wuhan, half of the first 204 patients examined had this symptom.

Conjunctivitis

Some patients with COVID-19 showed mild follicular conjunctivitis. It can be expressed in bloodshot eyes, burning in the eye area, accumulation of pus that sticks to the eyelashes, itching in the eyes.

Fatigue

A feeling of unusually intense fatigue can also be a symptom of a coronavirus. It is worth paying attention to this symptom if this feeling is not the result of overwork.
