COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Even though COVID-19 has not been with us for too long, we have learned much about the signs and symptoms caused by the virus. Unfortunately, many respiratory viruses circulate among humans causing similar symptoms. So, how do we tell the difference between COVID-19, Influenza, and the common cold?
This infographic is about the comparable symptoms between the common cold, flu, and COVID-19. Knowing the types of symptoms can help keep you and others safe. According to National Institutes of Health (NIH), these are common signs, but your symptoms may be more or less severe, or you may only have a few. If you feel sick, stay home and call your doctor to discuss how you're feeling and whether you need to get tested.
