Scientists find the order that COVID-19 symptoms will most likely appear in

By analysing tens of thousands of patients, researchers identify which symptoms appear first if you contract coronavirus compared to the common flu. It's a finding they hope will lead to earlier detection of the virus around the world.

The researchers found the initial symptoms often appear in the following specific order:

1.Fever
2.Cough
3.Nausea and/or vomiting
4.Diarrhoea

This order differs only slightly from other respiratory illnesses, but there's a critical difference that might help with the detection of COVID-19.

The researchers hypothesise that if you have contracted influenza (the flu), the first symptom you will observe is a cough, not fever.
