Pneumonia with novel coronavirus infection is now called novel coronavirus pneumonia. For most people infected with novel coronavirus pneumonia, the symptoms are relatively mild and can be characterized by fever, cough and dyspnea. However, many patients can recover after 2 weeks or so, especially for younger patients, and basically most patients can recover. However, for elderly patients, for patients with underlying diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes mellitus, the condition of these patients may become very severe after infection with novel coronavirus pneumonia, and they may become critically ill with novel coronavirus pneumonia. This group of patients may require respiratory support such as mechanical ventilation, and in this case there is still a certain risk of death. However, most people who contract novel coronavirus pneumonia will recover from the disease. Source: Dr. Yurai
