Key Symptoms of Covid-19
The Covid-19 virus has a range of symptoms, including:
- Fever
- Cough
- Loss of sense of smell or taste
If you have any of these symptoms, you should immediately get tested and isolate until you receive a negative result.
In addition, a percentage of Covid-19 positive patients are ‘asymptomatic’ meaning they do not show symptoms, but they may still be infectious. This is why self-isolation is important after exposure to the virus.
How to Minimise the Risk of Covid-19
There are a number of practices that you can implement to slow the spread of Covid-19, including:
- Abide by social distancing guidelines.
- Wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds.
- Maintain good hygiene when coughing and sneezing.
- Avoid unnecessary travel.
- Get tested if you experience any symptoms.
- Avoid contact with high-risk friends or family members.
- If you can, get vaccinated.
