Brief Answer:
Sudden fever, chills and soar throat

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,

The symptoms would be sudden fever, fatigue, chills, headaches, cough and sneezing, sore throat, diarrhea and loss of appetite.

If you already have fever, it’s better to stay at home in order to prevent the disease from spreading. Always cover your face while coughing and sneezing. Avoid touching your face, nose and eyes often. It can also spread through inanimate objects like the XXXXXXX phone, laptop etc. which we end up frequently using. So, it’s better to avoid using others’ belongings

Maintain your health and immunity well. Eat healthy food, get good sleep, avoid stress. Avoid visiting crowded public places if you can. If you do visit them, wash your hands and feet well. Better just take a shower.
Thank you.
