Ok. So what are the actual official symptoms?

I’ve seen so many different things online.

From sickness, upset stomach, brain fog, loss of appetite, sore red and itchy eyes, hearing loss.....

The only official ones I’ve seen (NHS) are cough and or fever.

Can anyone shed some light.

I’ve had itchy eyes today and I’m becoming paranoid. 😕

Itchy eyes are most likely due to hay fever. Tree pollen is sky high right now.

Do not leave your home if you have either:

a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

Its coming up to hayfever season, so itchy eyes on its own I wouldn't be worried about.

Thing is a lot of people only have presumed Coronavirus because they haven't been tested. There is a lot of crossover with other Illnesses, so someone may think they have it, report the symptoms, but in fact have something else.

I would stick with the symptoms provided by the NHS for now. They will update it as it becomes clearer. I'm sure there are plenty of other symptoms but you don't want to drive yourself crazy with every little thing that may or may not be related
