With Fall season around the corner, the current health concern is COVID-19 and the flu. Do you know the difference in symptoms among COVID-19, flu, cold, and seasonal allergies? Intermountain Healthcare breaks it down. (The article also has a link that enables you to listen to a 3.43-minute audio instead of reading.)
With some symptoms, the differences are so minute, but respiratory difficulty and loss of taste and smell are two big determinants of COVID-19. To complicate things more, although many people experience many of the symptoms from each category, not all do, hence the challenges of asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19.
Be safe: wear a mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing. All three of these safety practices can not only protect you from COVID-19 but also the flu, the common cold, and even seasonal allergies.
