Scientists have reported a rare symptom of COVID-19

Basically, a new type of coronavirus infection manifests itself as an increase in body temperature, dry cough and increased fatigue. However, sometimes other symptoms of the disease appear in patients, even rather unusual ones.

Scientists have now reported a rare symptom of COVID-19 in men.

According to a new study by specialists from the Royal University Hospital of Liverpool, coronavirus infection may be accompanied by signs of acute pancreatitis – inflammation of the pancreas. Such symptoms include colic, vomiting, palpitations, fever, bloating, and diarrhea.
