People may be sick with the virus for 1 to 14 days before 

developing symptoms. The most common symptoms of 

coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fever, tiredness, and 

dry cough. Most people (about 80%) recover from the 

disease without needing special treatment.

More rarely, the disease can be serious and even fatal. 

Older people, and people with other medical conditions 

(such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), may be 

more vulnerable to becoming severely ill.
