Some Questions About Coronavirus How long does coronavirus last?
Every case of coronavirus is different, but experts have a general idea of how long the typical course of the illness lasts. Most people can expect to recover within two weeks after the onset of symptoms, but more severe cases could last up to six
weeks--and for some, dubbed “Covid long haulers,” symptoms can linger for months.
What are the symptoms of the coronavirus?
Symptoms of the coronavirus can seem a lot like the flu. Initially, a fever, cough, and shortness of breath emerged as the three most common symptoms of COVID-19. Now, other signs such as muscle pain, fatigue, and loss of taste and smell are on the Centers for Disease Control’s(CDC) symptoms checklist.
How long does coronavirus live on surfaces?
Though the conronavirus is typically transmitted through the air via respiratory droplets(from an infected person sneezing or coughing) rather than by touching objects and materials, the virus can still remain viable on variety of surfaces, according to the CDC, though it’s not exactly clear for how long.
How is coronavirus
spread?
According to the CDC, COVID-19 is spread mainly from person to person, usually through close contact(within six feet). Being near an infected person who coughs, sneezes, or talks can expose you to their respiratory droplet carrying the virus--and they can spread the virus even if they don’t have any symptoms yet. If those
virus-containing particles are inhaled(吸入) or land in your eyes, nose or mouth, you
could become infected.
