Many people who get the Coronavirus only develop minor symptoms, or in some cases never show symptoms at all. These symptoms can resemble cold or respiratory illness effects and include:
- Mild to severe fever
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
These symptoms typically begin anywhere from a day or two all the way up to 14 days after initial exposure. Many of the patients that have had severe complications from the virus also have pneumonia in both lungs.
While our Coronavirus testing will determine whether you currently have the disease, AM/PM Urgent Care with Englewood Health also offers Coronavirus antibody testing that can determine whether you have ever been infected. Understanding if you should get tested for COVID-19 is critically important because so many cases never show symptoms, and testing is necessary to clear people to go back to work safely.
