  • Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 include cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell.
  • The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides additional information about other symptoms people with COVID-19 may have.
