Cough and runny nose do not necessarily indicate novel coronavirus pneumonia, but they need to be closely observed. The primary symptoms of novel coronavirus pneumonia include cough and secondary symptoms include runny nose, so in this case it depends on whether the patient has an epidemiological history of novel coronavirus pneumonia and observing other clinical manifestations that appear subsequently. The virulence of each generation of the virus is gradually decreasing, and the clinical manifestations are not as severe as at the beginning.
