Six types of COVID-19 are detected: symptoms
The information that there are several types of COVID-19 in the world is well- known, but only now the experts have indicated their exact number and determined the level of their danger. In total, six types of coronavirus have been identified. This new data will help to prepare for the second wave of the pandemic and prevent many deaths. Also, experts will be able to assess the risk of re-infection for these six types more precisely. Identifying six types of coronavirus makes it possible to detect the symptoms, and to begin the correct treatment much faster (to focus on the affected body systems). So, scientists have identified the following types. Flu-like without fever: Flu-like symptoms (headache, trouble smelling, muscle pain, cough). Flu-like with fever: In addition to the above symptoms, there is fever and loss of appetite. Gastrointestinal: the main blow falls on the gastrointestinal tract, so diarrhea occurs, appetite is lost; pains in the chest and throat are possible. Severe level 1: cough, fever, hoarseness, chest pain, increased fatigue. Severe level 2: symptoms as in level 1, but confusion, muscle pains are added. Severe level 3: a collective variant of levels 1 and 2, also characterized by shortness of breath, pain in the abdomen and muscles, and loose stools. Absolutely all six types are characterized by headaches, loss of smell and pain in various parts of the body. Also, patients report fatigue, which is not associated with physical activity. Thanks to the classification, doctors will be able to devote more time to those patients who have a more advanced type of coronavirus. This approach will undoubtedly save a large number of lives.
