The Victorian and NSW Governments are telling people with the slightest cold symptoms to get #COVID19 tested. But new research suggests that other symptoms could be worth watching too. Dr @normanswan #abc730 #symptoms
“We don't really know exactly in what order symptoms present with COVID. Although fever, cough and shortness of breath may be the most common symptoms.” @DrCarmelCrock #abc730 #COVID19Aus
“If we now have several thousand cases in Melbourne, there will be presentations with headache, and there will be presentations potentially with conjunctivitis.” @DrCarmelCrock #abc730 #COVID19Aus
“I think we have to be really humble about it and I think we have to be open to changing our practice very rapidly, and being extremely cautious.” @DrCarmelCrock #abc730 #COVID19Aus
What are the earliest #COVID19 symptoms & what order do they appear? Fever, cough, sometimes sore throat, muscle aches and headaches. Then sometimes nausea/vomiting and diarrhoea. And that's without mentioning loss of smell & taste, red eyes, & even rashes. Dr @normanswan #abc730
