According to the Wang et al study only 50% of cases present with cough and 70% of cases present with fatigue. It seems on your website that cough is a requirement for the corona diagnosis. Is my assumption correct?

Hi, correct - cough, fever and difficulty breathing are the 3 factors with the highest weight. This is based on a study of 55,000 confirmed cases in Wuhan, China (source: https://www.lbc.co.uk/hot-topics/coronavirus/coronavirus-sym...)
