"If you come out and seek help, then help can be provided and something can be done. Dr Patel said most patients were still presenting with the classic symptoms of high fever, persistent dry cough. "We have had a couple of younger patients who don't have other diseases but are obese and they have had a longer recovery period compared to other patients," Dr Patel said.
