The US Centers for Disease Control added six new possible symptoms of the coronavirus to its website on Sunday.
Joining fever, cough and shortness of breath were: chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and new loss of taste or smell.
Shortness of breath was also updated on the CDC website’s COVID-19 symptoms page to “shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.”
“People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness,” the CDC states. “These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus.”
The US public heath institute recommends that those experiencing trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion, inability to arouse, or bluish lips or face seek medical attention immediately.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
