Chinese experts warned about the newly discovered symptoms of COVID-19, including diarrhea, loss of appetite and nausea.

In three hospitals, 204 infected cases have been tested and results have been published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

Experts said 48,5% of the cases suffer from digestive system problems as well as respiratory problems.

In some cases with only diarrhea, no traces of high fever or coughing are observed.

In cases with digestive system problems, the process from the first symptom to being hospitalized is 1.5 days longer — 9 in total — than cases with no digestive system problems.
