The symptoms of the coronavirus vary?

Any combination of a fever?

Cough and shortness of breath are just a few.

But if your symptoms linger?

How long should you remain isolation?

??n journalist chris cuomo recently announced he had contracted the virus.

And while he has made some headway towards recovery?

His fever spiked again?

About two weeks after his diagnosis.

I reached out to ?g public health's jennifer stiles?

Who tells me that your time to recover depends on if your symptoms are causing other problems. however?

That all changes if something flares up.xxx "when we talk to them, say on day 7, when we're getting to release them from isolation, and they say oh i have a fever, then we start over."

Another symptom to be on the lookout for?

Sudden confusion.

The ??c says confusion or an inability to wake up and be alert may require emergency care.

Thank you alex.
