British scientists have determined that there are six different “types” of COVID-19 distinguished by specific clusters of symptoms – which could help in the treatment of the deadly contagion.

The six clusters were broken down by order of severity as follows:

• Flu-like with no fever: Headache, loss of smell, muscle pains, cough, sore throat, chest pain, no fever.
• Flu-like with fever: Headache, loss of smell, cough, sore throat, hoarseness, fever, loss of appetite.
• Gastrointestinal: Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, diarrhea, sore throat, chest pain, no cough.
• Severe level one, fatigue: Headache, loss of smell, cough, fever, hoarseness, chest pain, fatigue.
• Severe level two, confusion: Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, cough, fever, hoarseness, sore throat, chest pain, fatigue, confusion, muscle pain.
• Severe level three, abdominal and respiratory: Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, cough, fever, hoarseness, sore throat, chest pain, fatigue, confusion, muscle pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, abdominal pain.

The first three clusters were more common in younger and healthier patients, while the last three more “severe” symptoms were more likely in older patients or those with preexisting conditions, such as diabetes, lung disease and obesity.
