First signs that may indicate you need a COVID test

Currently, the three classic signs of COVID are considered fever, cough / sore throat / loss of smell and taste.

However, these are not the ONLY warning signs or symptoms. Since this is a relatively new virus, the list of symptoms keeps growing. Researchers also believe that new mutations and strains may have the ability to impact our bodies in different and unusual ways.

Ignoring these signs could lead to a delayed diagnosis, or even no diagnosis, which could not only fuel the spread of the case, but also put a person at risk for serious problems and death.

In fact, according to a new study from King’s College, London and a symptom study app, getting tested for additional symptoms could pick up up to 40% more cases.
