Coronavirus comes in six different forms and each has a ‘particular cluster of symptoms’, scientists revealed. Data gathered by King’s College London’s Covid Symptom Study app was used to predict which patients will require hospitalisation based on their early symptoms. They used data gathered from 1,600 Covid patients in the UK and US between March and April. The study – which is yet to be peer reviewed – identified six clusters of symptoms which represent six types of Covid-19. This prediction tool could provide an early warning on who is likely to need intensive care based on their early symptoms.
