People infected with Covid-19 experience mild symptoms, and some are without symptoms. Recent research has found that there are five signs that show you are infected with Covid-19.

Muscle pain
According to the study published in the journal Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 44.8 percent of volunteers who participated in the experiment developed muscle pains as a result of Covid-19. Muscle pain is also a sign that the virus has infected you for a long time.
Brain fog

Loss of sense of smell and taste
Loss of sense of smell and taste is a very common symptom that is highly prevalent in most Covid patients. While this is very discomforting, it is a symptom that can usually confirm whether you have the coronavirus or not.
