SUMMARY

On July 29, 2020, the Ministry of Health issues the Decision No. 3351/QD-BYT promulgating the Guidance on diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 caused by a new strain of Coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2).

According to this Guidance, the incubation period lasts from 02 to 14 days, or from 05 - 07 days on average. Common symptoms are fever, dry cough, fatigue and muscle pain. Most patients (about more than 80%) have only mild fever, cough, fatigue, no pneumonia and usually recover on their own after about 01 week. However, some cases do not show any clinical presentations.

For children, most children infected with COVID-19 have milder clinical presentations compared to adults, or have no symptoms at all. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 in children are fever and cough, or manifestations of pneumonia. However, some children infected with COVID-19 have a multi-system inflammatory lesion similar to signs of Kawasaki disease: fever; erythema or corneal congestion, or swollen oral mucosa, hands, or feet; circulatory failure; manifestations of impaired cardiac function and elevated heart enzyme levels; etc.

Additionally, COVID-19 disease has the following clinical infection forms: Asymptomatic infection (in cases of a person infected with SARS-CoV-2 confirmed by a positive real-time RT-PCR assay, but showing no clinical symptoms); Mild infection-Acute respiratory infection; Moderate infection-Pneumonia; Severe infection-Severe pneumonia and Critical infection.
