Figure 3: Representative typical Symptoms of COVID-19 with tentative
percentages. A. Percent of all reported symptoms of Pandemic2019- nCoV
affected patients between January 23 and May 25, 2020 outbreak
(www.worldometers.info/coronavirus.com).
b. The disorders caused by pandemic COVID-19 infection with an
approximate 5.2 days incubation period. There are general similarities
in the symptoms between COVID-19 and previous life threading
betacoronavirus SARS and MERS but COVID-19 showed some unique clinical
features like rhinorrhoea, sneezing, and sore throat.
