What are the top 5 Covid-19 symptoms?

Covid19 Symptoms

If someone has symptoms for at least 7 days, with the final 3 days of that showing improvement in their symptoms and the final 3 days also being without a fever in the absent of any fever-reducing medication, then it’s acceptable to consider, at the end of at least 7 days since the start of those symptoms, someone as being negative without having to get a test to confirm that they’re negative.

All Rhode Island residents are required to stay home unless traveling to work, traveling for medical treatment or obtaining necessities (food, medicine, gas, etc.). Rhode Island residents may still go outside to exercise and get fresh air, however, they must practice social distancing while outside and avoid touching surfaces frequently touched by others.

Starting immediately, all gatherings of more than 5 people are banned. Individuals should be interacting with the same people every day to minimize the risk of spread.
