Older people and those people with underlying medical conditions like diabetes, lung diseases and cancer are most prone to this virus. According to the CDC, the symptoms of coronavirus will most likely appear on the first 2 days to 14 days after exposure. The most common symptoms of coronavirus are;

How Does It Spread

According to the studies of the health professionals, coronavirus spread mainly through person-to-person contact. An infected person can spread the virus through the droplets of their saliva or discharge from their nose when they cough or sneeze. Furthermore, infected people can also easily spread the virus by touching objects or surfaces in public areas or most populated areas of a home. People who are not infected can become infected by touching those contaminated areas and unconsciously touching their eyes, nose, or mouth which can lead to the virus getting into their body.
