US agency CDC confirms six new symptoms of COVID-19, similar to the list of WHO

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, issued a list of six symptoms of novel coronavirus, which differs from the list released by the World Health Organisation (WHO) earlier. The United States has witnessed the highest number of COVID-19 patients in the world, which made the CDC possible to examine them and reach the conclusion.   

As per the Atlanta-based agency's report, the symptoms of the COVID-19 could appear in two to 14 days after exposure to the coronavirus. Earlier, the CDC listed just three known symptoms which were shortness of breath, cough, and fever but now it has



added six possible symptoms in the list. 

New Symptoms: 

Chills

Repeated shaking with chills

Muscle pain

Headache

Sore throat

New loss of taste or smell (Anosmia- the loss of smell, Ageusia- the complete lack of taste, Dysgeusia- altered sense of taste)

However, running nose and sneezing are not included in the new CDC list of coronavirus symptoms. The CDC has added that the list is not all-inclusive and one still needs to consult their medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.
