What Is A Continuous Cough?

A new and continuous cough is one of main symptoms of Covid-19. However, other symptoms include; a high temperature, and a loss or change of taste and smell. The NHS website defines a persistent cough as “coughing a lot for more than an hour, or three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours”. If you do have any of the symptoms listed, you must self isolate and ensure that you get a coronavirus test.
