CDC identifies new severe symptoms for COVID-19

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released new information regarding new symptoms of the coronavirus.

Officials say it’s important to know the difference between mild and severe symptoms — also, what to do if you have them.

Michael Hokanson — the public information officer for the North Central Health District — says people experiencing severe symptoms should seek emergency assistance immediately. However, those experiencing mild symptoms should call their health care provider before seeking emergency assistance.
