The CDC has recently announced six additional Coronavirus symptoms to look out for. On Sunday, the CDC released a list of six additional symptoms which include:

-Chills

-Repeated Shaking with Chills

-Headache

-Sore Throat

-Muscle Pain

-Loss of taste or smell

“Do I need to seek medical attention?” That’s the question, Louisville’s Norton Healthcare System Epidemiologist Doctor Paul Schultz said people should be asking themselves, if they have any of the symptoms of the coronavirus.

Dr. Schultz says that they’ve known about these symptoms for weeks and have been vetting as patients continue to come in.

“For the most part in our inpatient program, if we, the provider, think they need to test the patient, then they test the patient,” Dr. Schultz said. “That’s our criteria.”

Baptist Health Director of Medical Emergency Department Doctor Thomas Davis said people need to know when they should go in.

“Being tested is not the most important,” Dr. Thomas Davis said. “The important caveat though is people can get worse very quickly. So, if you start getting shortness of breath or chest pain, you need to be seen. We want to get on top of it early.”

Although the list of symptoms has grown, Doctor Davis says that people shouldn’t be fearful of being out in parks or walking trails.

“At the end of the day, it all comes down to what is the risk of certain activities,” Dr. Davis said. “Being in a closer setting with other people is certainly a much higher risk. Going outside to the park and getting rid of some of that cabin fever enjoy the outdoors in the springtime. That’s very low risk.”
