Despite these data, the WHO has appreciated that many countries are following the recommended basic points to prepare for and respond to coronavirus. “Most countries now have a national plan; most are taking a multi-sectoral approach and most have the ability to conduct laboratory tests,” according to the organization, which has shipped nearly 1.5 million diagnostic tests to 120 countries. As well as 56 and 28 other protective equipment are on the way.
These are the most common symptoms of coronavirus.

Common signs of Covid-19 coronavirus include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. In more severe cases, the infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death.
