Scientists from Singapore have identified new symptoms of the COVID-19 disease caused by the coronavirus, writes The Straits Times.
It is clarified that these symptoms create a false picture of the patient having dengue fever. A patient infected with coronavirus may develop various itchy rashes and fever. At the same time, there will be no symptoms characteristic of COVID-19.
Even tests can sometimes show false positives for dengue fever, according to the researchers. Experts urged doctors to take seriously the diagnosis of coronavirus. They stressed that the wrong treatment can threaten both the infected and those around them.
The main symptoms of coronavirus include fever, fatigue, and a cough with a little phlegm.
