While COVID-19 has flu-like symptoms, being a respiratory infection, it also causes shortness of breath, bronchitis and pneumonia. With timely medical attention, around 80 per cent of those who get infected with the virus can be cured. It has been estimated that 1 in every 6 people get seriously ill to the stage where they find it difficult to breath. If a person has an underlying condition such as blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems and any other diseases that weaken the immune system, they are more susceptible to the COVID-19.

What should you do if you have symptoms?

If you think you have any of the COVID-19 symptoms, you must stay at home and call your doctor for consultation. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms, their severity. Based on the information provided by you, the doctor will diagnose:

  • The range of symptoms you are experiencing (mild to severe)
  • Age (If you are an elderly person)
  • Whether you have any underlying condition
  • Contact with a COVID-19 positive person

On evaluating the doctor will prescribe prescription or lab tests as per the symptoms. For people with mild symptoms, try to stay at home to avoid contact with other people, rest, take medicines regularly and drink plenty of fluids. However, if your symptoms tend to deteriorate, seek medical help immediately.
