Chicago’s top doctor became the latest high-profile COVID case to hit the Chicago area last week and on Tuesday she described what her experience was like.
"Didn't have any concern about being hospitalized, didn't take Paxlovid, I don't have underlying conditions," she said."And, you know, I was feeling fine a few days later."
She added that headaches and rashes can both also be symptoms associated with the virus, though they aren't as common as the upper respiratory indicators. According to the CDC, COVID symptoms can appear anywhere from two to 14 days after someone is exposed to the virus. You can end isolation after five full days if you are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and your other symptoms have improved."In terms of symptoms and what people have it's been so incredibly heterogeneous," said Dr. Sharon Welbel, the director of Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control for Cook County Health.
