A new study that looked at coronavirus patients in one of the hardest-hit areas of China found that while the virus more frequently strikes the respiratory system, the first signs for many patients actually came in the digestive tract.
As the New York Post reported, close to half of the patients admitted to the hospital in the Chinese province of Hubei were complaining of digestive issues like vomiting and diarrhea as their chief symptom. The study found that close to 7 percent of patients never experienced any respiratory symptoms, which experts have said are the hallmarks of the COVID-19 virus.
