The distribution and duration of symptoms in patients are not standard. All three institutions express the symptoms of the disease as high fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. According to the clinical report prepared by the Centers for Disease Control, coughing is not a symptom observed in every patient.

Alpay Azap, the president of the Turkish Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, said that rinsing with saline too much can harm mucus, which has a protective function. ![\\"23\\"](\\" Centers for Disease Control state that there is currently no specific treatment for COVID-19. Clinical care includes the implementation of recommended infection prevention and control measures and supportive management of complications, including enhanced organ support, if indicated. Snopes, the fact-checker platform, states that gargling with saline or vinegar does not eliminate the coronavirus. Also, Full Fact states that a sore throat is not a valid symptom for every patient.

There is not any finding of it. The symptoms vary depending on every patient. The post in question is an example of a fabricated content. ### Facts * There is no information stated by England National Health Service, the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization that the new coronavirus holds onto throat for four days. ##### FACT CHECK RESULT: False ##### WHY FALSE? __ Fabricated Health #Case #Life Share __X WhatsApp Facebook LinkedIn Telegram Copy to clipboard ![](\\"\\"/) ### About Us What is Teyit?
