Detecting a case of COVID early can quite possibly be the key to stopping widespread transmission. And although most people know the most common symptoms of the virus, you may not know what to look for in the earliest stages.

A recent study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine further specifies that the average symptomatic patient begins to show symptoms after 5 days, with more than 97 percent of the symptomatic cases occurring within 11 days.
