Fever
This is by far the most common symptom of the new coronavirus. A CDC report says that 77 percent to 98 percent of people who were infected therefore hospitalized with the virus have an elevated temperature.
Another analysis reports that the fever is typically 99.86 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, sometimes with chills.
However, you should keep in mind that a fever may or may not be the first symptom reported.
About 44 percent of more than 1,000 patients hospitalized with coronavirus in China had a fever when they first arrived at a healthcare facility, reports a study in the New England Journal of Medicine. That number rose to almost 89 percent after they were hospitalized.
