How do I know if I have coronavirus? - BBC News

People who are showing particular symptoms are being told to self-isolate in order to stop the coronavirus from spreading further.

In the UK, if you have a fever or a persistent cough, you should stay at home for seven days. The people you live with should stay at home for 14 days, and have food and medicine delivered.

But how do you know if you’re just ill, feeling a bit ropey or if you have the symptoms of coronavirus? What do the symptoms of coronavirus feel like?

BBC News’ Health and Science Reporter, Laura Foster, takes a look.

For once having phlegm is a great thing.

You forget another symptom : the sudden urge to travel the world and the seven seas.

The first symptom in the US is getting a hospital bill for $40, 000.

To all the people who don't cover their mouths when they cough...
You make me sick....!

Based on these symptoms, I had a coronavirus in 2016

Some people are having zero symptoms. No fever, no coughing or anything yet they tested positive. So none of what I have found on any of these videos makes sense.

After seeing the wuhan market clipppings n how they treat animals there, it's no wonder humans are suffering. And the suffering is very small compared to the number of animals killed n sold unhygienically there. What's outrageous is that the whole world is suffering because of some country's unregulated n inhuman markets. Take care

They can’t provide test for everyone who symptoms get worse, what’s the point

[drmichaelsunsschoolformath]

I found this quite helpful but need to say something about shortness of breath as that is when the danger starts.

[lukejreid]

That was excellent, clear and easy to understand. Thank you.

[freakmoister]

Also regarding the fever, patients have reported the fever comes in cycles. Like it’ll pick up in the evening and clear in morning and you’ll feel it for a few days consistently.

[SameerKhan-htmx]

Is it just me or is this video hella late

[bilalshamshir]

If someone has those symptoms they should not stay home for 7 or 14 days, because the virus will affect the person more after time.They should call the doctor and test the person, and start the treatment if positive before it gets worser
