Recognize Symptoms of People Infected with Corona Virus in the First Week

COVID-19 has claimed many lives. As an effort to deal with the spread, it is very important for us to recognize the symptoms of Corona virus infection, especially the initial symptoms in the first week.

COVID-19 is a viral infection that attacks the human respiratory system. Symptoms caused by this disease usually begin with mild symptoms. After that, symptoms can improve or worsen, depending on the condition of the patient's immune system.

Recognize Symptoms of People Infected with Corona Virus in the First Week

Because the symptoms that appear can vary, we need to know what are the initial symptoms that may occur in this disease to increase alertness.

Some Symptoms of Corona Virus Infection in the First Week

Corona virus infection symptoms can appear within 2–14 days after exposure to the Corona virus, but most people with COVID-19 experience symptoms after 11-12 days.

Symptoms that occur in the first week are usually mild. The following are the symptoms of COVID-19 which usually appear in the first week:

  • Fever ≥38 0 C
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Coughing up phlegm
  • Aches
  • No appetite

Shortness of breath may appear at the end of the first week, but generally shortness of breath begins to feel disturbing in the second week.

Because both are caused by viruses that attack the respiratory tract, the initial symptoms of COVID-19 can also be similar to the common cold, namely colds, nasal congestion, headaches, and sore throats.

Some other initial symptoms that COVID-19 sufferers may experience include abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea, but these symptoms are not typical and are rare.

Who is at Risk of Corona Virus Infection?

You can check the risk of Corona virus provided free by Alodokter to find out how likely you are to be infected with this virus. In accordance with the health protocol issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Health, there are 2 criteria for people who are at risk of Corona virus infection, namely:

  • Have contact with a positive patient COVID-19, which is in the same room or within 1 meter of the patient, in the last 14 days
  • Have been in COVID-19 endemic areas, both at home and abroad, in the last 14 days

If you meet one of the criteria above and experience symptoms that lead to COVID-19, do self-isolation and call the COVID-19 hotline at 119 Ext. 9 to get further direction. Avoid going to the hospital immediately because it can increase your risk of contracting or transmitting the virus to many people.

If you have questions about your complaint or perhaps other health problems during independent isolation, you can use the chat directly with the doctor in the Alodokter app to consult.
