Signs and symptoms of illness from the novel coronavirus include fever, cough and difficulty breathing.
Early symptoms of exposure to the coronavirus are similar to that of the flu. They include:
Chills, or repeated shaking with chills
Body aches
Sore throats
Headaches
Nauseau, diarrhea or vomiting
Runny nose
Muscle pain
New loss of taste or smell
Congestion or running nose
The best way to protect yourself from the spread of coronaviruses is by avoiding close contact with people who are sick, washing hands frequently and avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. “I think the biggest thing is making sure that you're not talking too closely to people and not coughing without covering your cough or sneeze,” Erica Kaufman West, MD, Infectious Disease Physician with Franciscan Physician Network Infectious Disease Dyer, told Hammond Mayor Tom McDermott Jr. on a Facebook live. “That’s the biggest preventive defensive thing that you can do.”
Additionally, health experts are recommending safe food practices and avoiding animals and uncooked meat if traveling in affected areas.
"Anyone who’s sick, if you’re sneezing those droplets, it’s about a 6 feet radius of those droplets traveling out. If it lands on surfaces, those surfaces can be contaminated several hours," Dr. Mikatis said. "If you think of someone sneezing and then touching a door knob, that’s contaminated, and if you touch that and then you touch your mouth or your nose, you’ve basically infected yourself. Be very mindful of not touching face when you’re in public without first washing your hands."
