Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, recently tested positive for COVID-19. While his case is mild, it’s a reminder that anyone can contract the virus. Here are some signs that you may have COVID-19, just like Dr. Fauci.

Eat This, Not That

  • Eat fruits and vegetables that are high in Vitamin C, such as oranges, grapefruits, and bell peppers. Avoid processed foods and sugary snacks.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, tea, and juice. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages.
  • Get plenty of rest and exercise. Avoid strenuous activities that can weaken your immune system.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching your face.
  • Stay home if you are feeling sick. Avoid contact with other people.

In a sign of just how contagious the latest variants of COVID-19 are, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, tested positive for the virus this week after avoiding infection for the entire pandemic so far. The 81-year-old Fauci, who is fully vaccinated and double boosted, is said to be experiencing mild symptoms and is working from home.

Although it’s unclear what variant of COVID Dr. Fauci contracted, experts have noted that two new subvariants of Omicron—BA.4 and BA.5—are spreading rapidly in the U.S. The CDC said Tuesday BA.4 and BA.5 now account for 21% of COVID cases nationwide. They are believed to be even more contagious than their highly transmissible predecessors and seem better at escaping protection from vaccines and previous infections, experts say.

The symptoms of BA.4 and BA.5 aren’t that different from previous COVID subvariants. They’re mostly mild and are similar to a cold or allergies, including cough, fatigue, congestion or runny nose. According to anecdotal reports, more people are reporting headache-like symptoms than with other subvariants.

The CDC hasn’t changed its list of the most common symptoms of COVID-19, which include:

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Anyone can have mild to severe symptoms, and even people with mild cases of COVID have gone on to develop “long COVID,” symptoms that linger for weeks or months after an initial COVID infection.

If you test positive for COVID, the CDC says you should isolate for five full days, which can end if you’re fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and your other symptoms have improved.
