Doctor: lung damage does not always determine the severity of COVID-19 disease

“Computed tomography of the lungs is not a criterion for the severity of the condition.

Damage to the lungs in 5-10% can cause desaturation and fever, and at 80% it can be completely normal, "the regional headquarters for combating coronavirus quotes her on the page on VKontakte.

Fever remains one of the most aggressive symptoms, she said.

Earlier, otorhinolaryngologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Alexander Puryasev, said that the presence of a cough may not always be associated with colds.
