According to the study, published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health, recognising the order of symptoms also could help doctors plan how to treat patients, and perhaps intervene earlier in the disease. "This order is especially important to know when we have overlapping cycles of illnesses like the flu that coincide with infections of Covid-19," said study author Peter Kuhn from the University of Southern California in the US.
