Another study on non-severe COVID-19 patients proposes four immunological phases: prodromal phase (in the first week), the apparent manifestation phase (in the second week), the remission phase (in the third week), and the convalescent phase (after 3 weeks). The CDC says most people with COVID-19 'get better within a few days to a few weeks after infection.' According to the CDC, the most common long symptoms include: Stay informed about local news. Here’s What Symptoms of COVID-19 Look Like if You’re Vaccinated. One study classifies the stages into pre-exposure, incubation, detectable viral replication, followed by five more phases that end with a tail phase. These stages might occur consecutively or overlap one another. In other words, these can be categorized as the viral infection stage, vascular or pulmonary inflammation stage, and fibrosis stage. Several studies have classified the infection into three stages.ġ) The pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic phase (early infection)Ģ) The propagation of the virus to the upper airways and respiratory tracts that lead to mild, moderate, or severe symptomsģ) The multi-system impairment with hyper inflammation that may injure multiple organs. There is no definitive or globally accepted classification of the stages of COVID-19 infection. Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell Sore throat. Scientists are trying to understand the phases of COVID-19 infection from various theoretical and clinical perspectives. Even people who had a mild case of COVID-19 may struggle with long-term effects like shortness of breath, chest pain, and brain fog. While COVID-19 is an illness most persons recover from, it can cause symptoms that last for four or more weeks after it started. One is still infectious during the incubation period, that is, they can easily infect others before they start showing symptoms. Most people who catch COVID-19 have mild symptoms, but some people become severely ill. It varies for different conditions and may vary from person to person. The period between exposure to a germ and when the symptoms show up is called the incubation period. It is recommended that public health guidance be followed and one get tested if they have been exposed to anyone who has been confirmed to be infected with Sars-CoV-2. Others may be asymptomatic, and infected people without symptoms (pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) can still infect others and are most infectious during the two days before symptoms appear.
Some people have mild to moderate symptoms including fever, cough, tiredness, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, aches, and pains, while others may have more serious symptoms. Symptom onset also depends on the variant to which one is exposed.The incubation period for the Delta variant was shorter than the previous variants, and for Omicron it appears to be about three days, on average. According to the WHO, on average it may take 5-6 days for symptoms to appear. In general, it may take between two to 14 days after exposure to COVID-19 for symptoms to appear. Patients with COVID-19 can present with neurological symptoms that can be broadly divided into central nervous system involvement, such as headache, dizziness, altered mental state, and disorientation, and peripheral nervous system involvement, such as anosmia and dysgeusia.
