According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the symptoms of COVID-19 have remained the same, even with new variants like Eris (EG.5) and Omicron BA.2.86. The following are the symptoms to look for:

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Diarrhea
• Nausea or vomiting

These symptoms may be a sign of COVID infection, but they could also mean you have a different illness. If you have questions or think you were in contact with someone who had COVID, call your primary care provider. It is important to note that even if your symptoms are mild, a COVID infection can require isolation from other people for well over a week.
