As more research is conducted on this new strain of Coronavirus, we are learning more about the signs and symptoms one could experience if they are infected.

The most important thing we want to let everyone know is that the initial symptoms we discussed such as a fever, cough, and shortness of breath remain the primary symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19), but we are learning of secondary symptoms associated with the virus.

“There’s actually a recent study from Wuhan China, 212 patients, and they were looking at all these new symptoms, neurological symptoms, and they describe in their epidemic that 5 percent of patients presented with an altered taste or smell, and a lot of the patients had dizziness, headaches, muscle inflammation, and even altered mental status and seizures," Dr. Rodrigo Hasbun Professor of Medicine-Infectious Disease at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio tells Fox 26.

Just because new symptoms associated with coronavirus have been discovered, doesn’t mean the virus is mutating.

August 8, 2019, abc13 KTRK-TV anchor Art Rascon was hospitalized, and FOX 26 KRIV reporter Natasha Geigel tells us she had a medical procedure.

Luckily both of these Houston media folks report they are OK!
