Sneezing is very rare in people infected with Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia and the vast majority of infected people have no sneezing symptoms. The difference between Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia during the first week and a cold is that a person with a cold will have khat symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. Sneezing and a runny nose can also be seen with allergies, such as allergies to pollen, irritating odors, or allergies to cold air can cause. If there is a low-grade fever combined with sneezing, runny nose and cough, it is more likely to be a cold. Patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia primarily have a low-grade fever and dry cough, and some may have a moderate fever, plus malaise, headache, and muscle and joint pain. Sneezing and runny nose symptoms are less common, and can often be used to differentiate novel coronavirus pneumonia from the common cold and allergic cough and sneezing. When identification is not easy based on clinical symptoms, it is important to rely on epidemiology and novel coronavirus nucleic acid testing to determine the cause of symptoms. When other conditions are uncertain, a cold is more likely if the patient presents with a low-grade fever, cough, and sneezing. Source: Dr. Yurai
