COVID-19 Symptoms & Treatment

If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms such as cough or difficulty breathing, call your primary care provider. If you do not have a primary care provider and believe you need medical treatment for COVID-19, we recommend that you consider a WellSpan Virtual On-Demand Care appointment. Your provider can provide guidance on your next steps.

Many people with COVID-19 are able to recover at home if symptoms are not severe.

People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

cough
shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
fever
chills
muscle pain
sore throat
new loss of taste or smell

According to the CDC, other less common symptoms may include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

Get care immediately if you feel worse or you think it is an emergency. Dial 911 in case of emergency. Seek emergency medical care immediately for any of these warning signs:

trouble breathing
persistent pain or pressure in the chest
new confusion
inability to wake or stay awake
bluish lips or face
