Concerns are being raised about the accuracy of the tests for the coronavirus.

A study of nearly 140 coronavirus patients found that the infection's most common symptom is fever. Many patients also experience fatigue and a dry cough. A handful of patients developed diarrhea before a fever, which raises the possibility that the virus cou…

A US evacuee who was infected with the Wuhan coronavirus was accidentally released from a San Diego hospital, health officials said on Monday. The patient, who was evacuated from Wuhan last week, was initially brought to a quarantine facility with three other…

Some patients with the new coronavirus first detected in Wuhan, China, experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Though the virus primarily causes fever or difficulty breathing, these rarer symptoms sometimes appear first. In one case, a coronavirus patient w…

At least 20% of people who become infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus never feel sick. Why? Because a common variant in an immune-system gene is linked with a much higher chance of dodging symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection: https://t.co/d2s4Fwmbm3 @Nature #COVID19 https://t.co/E1TjtMOHQh
