Coronavirus Disease

Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. 

If your symptoms are more severe, supportive treatments may be given by your doctor or at a hospital. This type of treatment may involve:

• fluids to reduce the risk of dehydration

• medication to reduce a fever

• supplemental oxygen in more severe cases

People who have a hard time breathing on their own due to COVID-19 may need a respirator.
