“Determining the simultaneous infection of two viruses is not easy without laboratory diagnostics. Flu is characterized by a very rapid increase in symptoms: literally in a few hours, the body temperature rises to 38-39 degrees or more, headache, muscle aches appear. With coronavirus infection, signs of the disease develop gradually. If after a certain period of time loss of smell joins, taste sensations change, then the probability of a combined infection is high, ”she noted.
