Before proceeding, please note that this general overview is compiled for initial self-assessment only and may vary for each individual. If you're not feeling well, you should immediately consult a medical practitioner to have an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of COVID-19.
The typical daily symptoms are concluded from the study of 138 patients at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and another study involving 135 patients from Jinyintan Hospital and 56 patients from Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital.
These symptoms are broken down into:
DAY 1 TO DAY 2
The beginning symptoms are similar to the common cold with a mild sore throat and neither having a fever nor feeling tired. Patients can still consume food and drink as usual.
DAY 3
The patient's throats start to feel a bit painful. Body temperature reads at around 36.5° celsius. Although it's uncommon, other symptoms like mild nausea, vomiting or mild diarrhea are possible to set in.
DAY 4
Throat pain becomes more serious. Other symptoms like feeling weak and joint pain start to manifest. The patient may show a temperature reading between 36.5° to 37° celsius.
DAY 5 TO 6
Mild fever starts. The patients show a temperature reading above 37.2° celsius. The second most common symptom, dry cough, also appears. Dyspnea or breathing difficulty may occur occasionally. Most patients in this stage are easily feeling tired. Other symptoms remain about the same. These four symptoms are among the top five key indications of COVID-19 according to the final report of the initial outbreak conducted by the joint mission of China and WHO.
DAY 7
The patients that haven't started recovering by day 7 get more serious coughs and breathing difficulty. Fever can get higher up to 38° celsius. Patients may develop further headache and body pain or worsening diarrhea if there’s any. Many patients are admitted to the hospital at this stage.
DAY 8 TO 9
On the 8th day, the symptoms are likely to be worsened for the patient who has coexisting medical conditions. Severe shortness of breath becomes more frequent. Temperature reading goes well above 38°. In one of the studies, day 9 is the average time when Sepsis starts to affect 40% of the patients.
DAY 10 TO 11
Doctors are ordering imaging tests like chest x-ray to capture the severity of respiratory distress in patients. Patients are having loss of appetite and may be facing abdominal pain. The condition also needs immediate treatment in ICU.
DAY 12 TO 14
For the survivors, the symptoms can be well-managed at this point. Fever tends to get better and breathing difficulties may start to cease on day 13. But Some patients may still be affected by mild cough even after hospital discharge.
DAY 15 TO 16
Day 15 is the opposite condition for the rest of the minority patients . The fragile group must prepare for the possibility of acute cardiac injury or kidney injury.
DAY 17 TO 19
COVID-19 fatality cases happen at around day 18. Before the time, vulnerable patients may develop a secondary infection caused by a new pathogen in the lower respiratory tract. The severe condition may then lead to a blood coagulation and ischemia.
DAY 20 TO 22
The surviving patients are recovered completely from the disease and are discharged from the hospital.

I'm on day 5 of covid and before I had fever headache chills chest pain and loss of appetite but now I'm just sweaty and have a dry cough throat hurts praying for myself and all of you who got covid may God protect us and help us get through this tough time I share my story

To anyone having anxiety over this video: I was diagnosed with covid three weeks ago, it started with loss of taste and smell then turned into stomach pains and slight fever. I didn’t really have any breathing problems, aside from slight pressure on my chest. By the second week these symptoms started to die off, at the beginning of the third week I started to get my taste and appetite back. 80% of cases are mild, this videos showing you the worst case scenario. I can honestly say I’ve had colds a lot worse than this, stay safe and don’t let this video freak you out too much.

I tested positive around 7 days ago and now I’m having trouble breathing and crazy panic attacks, plz pray for me, I’m praying for all you❤️

I’ve currently got covid and I’ll let you know my experience as it may help. Day 01 was awful. Body sensitivity was so bad even clothes felt like they were burning my skin. Joints started aching and I had to go to bed as sitting or standing for short periods was too painful. Day 02 was slightly better. Still had the same flu like symptoms but the sensitivity eased a lot. No sign of a cough or sore throat. Started with cold sweats but nothing too serious. Day 03 woke up super early as I wet drip wet through. Cold sweats all day. Sensitivity just at the bottom of my back, joint pains gone, still no cough or sore throat. Still on day 3 of the worst illness I’ve ever experienced. Hope this helps anyone who’s going through the same

For all of you scared, that either have it or are in fear of you having it, I pray for a speedy recovery. I pray you heal and are not affected any longer. I’m currently suffering on day 8 right now and wanted to let y’all know you’re not alone. We can make it though and keep fighting!

My husband got covid pneumonia. he is experiencing shortness of breathe and his oxygen is way to low. Please pray for his fast recovery 🙏🙏

My daughter and I tested positive. Thank goodness she is no longer showing symptoms after the first two days. But for me this has been the hardest week of my life other than giving childbirth. I went through all of these other than going to the hospital. But it really takes all your energy away and you just want to lay down as much as possible the dry cough was the hardest day and my throat was so sore after that. Then there’s the hot and cold flashes it’s weird your body is just out of control. Please wear your masks I was definitely not thinking I would ever get it and now I pray for anyone who has it I could just imagine those who have pre-existing conditions and how hard it would be. God Bless everyone 🙏🏾

Let me tell you I had the Corona Virus that as soon I stared with the fever I didn’t want to eat, I didn’t eat for 10 days with fever, headaches, all my body hurt, couldn’t smell or taste, felt like throwing up and I had diarrhea😱 it was horrible I prayed to God all those days and thank God after 10 days I stared feeling better but I was really weak. After six days after all the symptoms I was able to smell and taste. 👏🙌I thank God for helping me get through this Virus.
