What are the clinical manifestations?

Main symptoms are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. Nasal congestion and runny nose are rare. About
one-half of the patients develop dyspnea after one week. In severe cases, they progress rapidly to
acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, difficult to correct metabolic acidosis, and
coagulopathy. It is worth noting that in the course of severe and critically ill patients, there can be
moderate to low fever, even without obvious fever. Some patients have mild onset symptoms and no
fever. They usually recover after 1 week. Most patients have a good prognosis, and a few patients are
critically ill and even die.

If you have fever, fatigue, or dry cough, it does not mean you have been infected. But if you have
symptoms of acute respiratory infection such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, and have a history
of traveling or living in Wuhan, or have been exposed within 14 days before onset Patients with fever
and respiratory symptoms from Wuhan, or a small area of ​clustered onset, should go to the local
designated medical institution for investigation, diagnosis and treatment.

Why do close contacts need medical observation for 14 days?

At present, preventive public health measures such as stricter medical observation for close contacts
are necessary. This is a responsible attitude towards public health and safety, and a common practice
in the international community. With reference to the incubation period of diseases caused by other
coronaviruses, information about this new coronavirus case, and current prevention and control
practices, the medical observation period for close contacts was set to 14 days, and home medical
observations were made for close contacts.
