How long does it take for symptoms of COVID to appear ?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the amount of time that passes between exposure to the virus and when the symptoms appear can range from two to fourteen days.
One of the important facts to remember is that a person can spread the virus before they develop symptoms, very commonly, two days prior to showing any signs of being infected.
Symptoms of COVID include:
- Sore throat
- Cough
- Body aches
- Shortness of breath
- Chills
- Fever
- Headache
- Runny nose
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Loss of smell or taste
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, speak with your physician. The only way to confirm having Covid is by testing for it. If your symptoms worsen, you should go to the closest Emergency Room.
