Doctors are reporting an increase in COVID-19 cases, with symptoms differing from previous times. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that back-to-school season is contributing to the rise. Common symptoms still include fevers, cough, and upper respiratory issues, but many patients are also experiencing gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

These symptoms can sometimes lead to mild dehydration. COVID-19 and the flu are among the illnesses being treated by doctors. It is unclear what is driving the current surge in cases.

Further information on the COVID-19 spike and its symptoms can be found through the original report, which provides more details on the situation and the medical community's response.
