Rospotrebnadzor named "the most formidable symptom" of coronavirus

This was reported by TASS.

"The most formidable symptom is the appearance of shortness of breath against the background of respiratory symptoms," she said.

Pshenichnaya added that during a pandemic, the combination of respiratory symptoms with a loss of smell may indicate the development of COVID-19, but it also occurs in other diseases.

Earlier, Pshenichnaya said that a person infected with a coronavirus is maximally infectious two days before the onset of symptoms, as well as on the first day of COVID-19 illness.
