The covid-19 virus has spread globally, affecting more than 50 million people. By now, most of the people know a lot about different viruses affecting humans. And, they are still getting to know new things about the virus with each passing day.
There are several strange symptoms that might be a sign of the new coronavirus. Have a look at a few of those symptoms along with the ways to treat them.
Loss of smell or Anosmia
Anosmia is the most common symptom of a covid infection that most people experienced during the pandemic. This symptom comes with shortness of breath, sore throat, and fever. There are also a few people who experienced just loss smell but not any other symptom of the coronavirus. On the other hand, as the infection has spread globally, the medical industry has noticed some unusual signs, including anosmia that comes along ageusia or you can say, loss of taste.
Millions of people around the globe got affected by this new virus that was originally reported in China. If we talk about South Korea, nearly about 35 per cent of people over their tested covid positive and the foremost system they had was anosmia or loss of smell. And, in Germany, most of the covid patients experienced both loss of taste and smell.
The medical practitioners advise to immediately isolate yourself in case you experience this symptom. Getting the covid test done is also recommended. You can stay informed with covid response news updates available on the internet.
The virus is extremely dangerous for infants
In comparison to adults and grown-up kids, the virus tends to have a deep effect on the health of babies. The ones who are less than one year of age are highly prone to catch the virus and get seriously ill. If we talk about the United States of America, 2-3 per cent of children who got affected by the virus were teenagers, and 10-15 per cent of babies get affected who were less than one year old.
The virus can stay on the surfaces for several days
Another surprising fact about the novel coronavirus is that the virus can stay alive on surfaces for many days. This virus from China is spread basically through droplets when someone sneezes or coughs. So, a person with this virus in the body can easily spread the virus with just a sneeze or cough, and the virus can travel from person to person. This is why wearing a face mask is mandatory whenever you step out of the house or visit some public place with a lot of people around. Your safety is in your hands, so be careful and always wear a mask when you are out of your safe space.
People who have no symptoms at all can also spread the virus unknowingly
Many people who were moved out of Wuhan, China were tested covid positive, and the strange part here is that those people had no symptoms at all. Moreover, a study had come up with the fact that most of the covid positive kids had no symptoms at all. Half of the infected population developed no symptoms of the virus and were normal and looked healthy enough. But those people were unknowingly spreading the virus as they were unaware of the sad part that they are covid positive. This is the major reason healthcare experts advised to follow social distancing and stay home as much as possible.
Blood type ?A? highly prone to infection
The people with type ?A? blood group are more prone to catch the virus. A study in China has come up with the fact that most of the covid positive patients were of blood type ?A? in comparison to other blood groups. They also disclosed that there were lesser infected people with ?O? type blood group. Moreover, the geonomic studies of the covid positive people from places like Spain and Italy have shown that the ones with ?A? type blood are highly susceptible to experience respiratory failure due to covid-19 infection.
Digestive issues could also be a sign of covid-19 infection
Other than the commonly known covid symptoms like fever, cold, breathlessness, and more, some covid positive patients might also have symptoms like digestive disorders. And, these include issues like vomiting, indigestion, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and pain in the abdominal area.
In this pandemic time, the world is going through a lot of negativity all around with loss of jobs, people running out of money, and many other problems. Apart from all these problems, note that what is most important at present is to stay safe and stay home.
