In December 2019, China notified the World Health Organization (WHO) of several cases of human

bring you at high risk of infection.

In a lot of cases, the disease tends to run a score within a 3-week period. From an incubation period that
tends to last for 5 days to 2 weeks, and symptoms that present for around 5 to 7 days before the suffer

cases in the Philippines. These patients are likely to be older than 50 and suffer from health conditions
like severe respiratory issues, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and cardiac illness.

Young people and people without underlying health issues can also experience severe symptoms, so don’t
use your age in health as an excuse to throw caution to the weak. Initially, people who experience more
severe cases of COVID-19 will undergo some symptoms like high fever, coughing, shortness of breath,
chest pains, breathing difficulties, headaches and indigestive issues.

At some point, there are people who are asymptomatic. These people don’t show any symptoms of the
