For many novel coronavirus patients, symptoms start out mild with a fever and dry cough.
Some people may experience shortness of breath, muscle soreness, or fatigue in the first day or two of the virus.
According to Business Insider, if ymptoms worsen, they typically become more severe in days 5 - 10.
So how do you know when or if it's time to go to the hospital?
Doctors advise that if you have difficulty walking across a room or up a flight of stairs, you should go.
Experts also recommend getting to the ER right away if shortness of breath makes it hard to speak in full sentences.
