Coughing all the time is not necessarily caused by a new coronavirus infection, but may be caused by a common cold. When a novel coronavirus infects the body, the cough is usually dry with little sputum. Most patients present with a dry cough along with symptoms such as fever, general malaise, loss of energy, and loss of appetite, which are usually non-specific. If you develop the above symptoms and have a history of contact with a person infected with the virus or suspected to be infected with the virus, or if you travel or live in an infected area, you should promptly go to each regional fever clinic for examination and receive isolation treatment at a designated hospital after confirmation of the diagnosis.
