The CDC reports people with COVID-19 can experience a wide range of symptoms — mild to severe. Symptoms may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. They include, but are not limited to:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
Since the pandemic began in March, 2,714,202 tests have been administered and 1,745,705 people have been tested in Utah.
“The goal of these testing clinics is to more quickly identify people who are currently infectious with COVID-19, including those who may not even know they are infected because they don’t have symptoms. Identifying these individuals will help slow the spread of infection in the community,” a press release from UDOH stated.
