COVID-19 symptoms

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough and shortness of breath. Symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as many as 14 after exposure.

If you experience mild symptoms, stay home while ill. Do not go to work, school or to public areas. If you need medical care, call your provider in advance so the medical office can take steps to prevent exposing others.

If you have symptoms but have not been around anyone with COVID-19, the likelihood that you have the virus is low. The symptoms are similar to those caused by other respiratory illnesses circulating in the community, including influenza.

There currently is no specific treatment for COVID-19.
