    Most COVID-19 cases are mild, with fever, dry cough, and fatigue as the most common symptoms. Patients with mild cases do not experience shortness of breath or low blood oxygen levels. Those at higher risk for more severe illness include people over 55, those with underlying health conditions like lung disease or diabetes, and patients who are immunocompromised. Treatment for mild cases focuses on supportive care like rest, hydration, exercise, and self-proning while monitoring for worsening symptoms.
