What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

Symptoms of COVID-19 can range from mild illness to pneumonia. Some people will recover easily, and others may get very sick very quickly.

People with coronavirus may experience:

fever
flu-like symptoms such as coughing, sore throat and fatigue
shortness of breath

How does Coronavirus spread?

The virus can spread from person to person through:

close contact with an infectious person (including in the 24 hours before they started showing symptoms)
contact with droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneeze
touching objects or surfaces (like doorknobs or tables) that have cough or sneeze droplets from an infected person, and then touching your mouth or face

COVID-19 is a new disease, so there is no existing immunity in our community. This means that COVID-19 could spread widely and quickly.

What if I think I have symptoms of COVID-19?

If you are sick and think you have symptoms of COVID-19, seek medical advice. If you want to talk to someone about your symptoms, call the National Coronavirus Helpline for advice.

Practice good hygiene
Practice social distancing
Avoid public gatherings
Practice self-isolation if you are unwell

Access to Medication

There is currently no need to panic and bulk buy medication in Australia. We do recommend that you don’t allow your regular and essential prescription medications to almost run out before you organise a new prescription.
