The majority of people with the disease will experience no symptoms whatsoever. In most cases, the patient won’t even be aware that they have it. When symptoms do show, they will usually appear between 3 and 17 days of the infection taking hold. Symptoms of the condition tend to be similar to pneumonia.

The symptoms typically include a fever, chills, and a headache. The patient can have a cough and feel some discomfort in their chest as well as breathing difficulties. Muscle aches and pains can also be experienced. While these symptoms are usually only mild, they can go on to develop into something more serious.
