A recent study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology suggests that people may experience digestive problems, such as diarrhoea, when they are infected with coronavirus.


Researchers analysed data from 206 patients with Covid-19 in China's Hubel province and they discovered that 48.5 percent of these patients arrived at the hospital with digestive symptoms such as diarrhoea, vomiting or abdominal pain. Following this, the researchers stated that, for some people, digestive symptoms may present itself first before the respiratory symptoms of Covid-19.

The study noted: "These data emphasize that patients with new-onset digestive symptoms after a possible Covid-19 contact should be suspected for the illness, even in the absence of cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, or fever."

Some patients may also have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose or a sore throat but these are usually mild and begin gradually.
