Coronavirus Outbreak: All the Secrets Revealed About the Covid-19 Pandemic. A complete Rational Guide of its Evolution, Expansion, Symptoms and First Defense

What Symptoms Should I Look Out For?
Symptoms of this infection include fever, heavy cough and breathing
difficulties or shortness of breath. The disease triggers pneumonia and lung
lesions. Mild cases may mimic flu or a bad cold, making it difficult to
identify. Patients might be familiar with other symptoms, such as
gastrointestinal issues or diarrhea. It is known that the incubation period—
the duration from exposure to the onset of symptoms — is anywhere from 10
days to two weeks.
See your health care provider if you have a fever or cough and have recently
visited China, or spent time with someone who did. Call first, so they can
plan for your visit and take steps to prevent potential exposure to other
patients and staff.
How Time-consuming Does It Take To Reveal Symptoms?

The new corona virus novel shows symptoms ranging from 2 to 14 days,
enabling the disease to go undetected. Reported diseases have ranged from
people with little to no symptoms to people who are severely sick and dying
with reported Covid-19 infections. Symptoms may include:
• 
Fever
• 
Cough
• 
Shortness of breath
This is dependent on what was historically known as MERS virus incubation
period. The amount of time it takes for signs to occur after an infected person
can be critical for prevention and control. Identified as the duration of
incubation, this time helps health officials to isolate or track individuals who
may have been exposed to the virus. Nevertheless, if the incubation period is
too long or too short, then it may be difficult to implement such steps.
Many diseases, such as influenza, have a brief two to three-day incubation
period. Until they show flu symptoms, people can shed infectious virus
particles, making it almost impossible to recognize and isolate people who
have the virus. Nevertheless, SARS had an incubation period of about five
days. It also took four to five days after symptoms started before the virus
could be spread to sick people, which gave officials time to stop the infection,
and contain the outbreak effectively.
Executives at the Centers for Disease Regulator and Prevention say the
incubation period for the current corona virus is 2-14 days. But whether a
person can spread the virus before symptoms occur is still not clear, or
whether the nature of the disease influences how quickly a patient can spread
the virus. This is troubling because it may mean the identification of the
infection will elude.
