Most people with novel coronavirus infection do not have a high body temperature, with axillary body temperature often not exceeding 38.5°C. Some may have a high fever of 39°C or higher. In addition to the main symptom of fever, patients may also have sore throat, chest tightness, dry cough, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, diarrhea, heartburn, aching limbs, and even difficulty in breathing. If a patient has the above symptoms and has a history of contact with an infected person or suspected infected person, he or she should be highly alert and seek medical attention at the fever clinics of major hospitals in a timely manner to avoid delaying the disease.
