The most common symptoms of persistent cough and fever have been confirmed in people suffering from the new corona virus disease Code 19.
Other common symptoms include fatigue, loss of sense of smell and difficulty breathing.
The study, by five universities, including the University of Leeds in the UK, confirmed the list of symptoms compiled by the World Health Organization at the onset of the epidemic.
The study collected data from 148 different research reports that identified common symptoms with the help of more than 24,000 patients in nine countries, including the United Kingdom, China and Russia.
The study, published in the medical journal Plus One, is being hailed as the largest study of code 19 symptoms to date.
The researchers also acknowledged that a large number of people infected with the virus may have no symptoms.
