Apple has updated its coronavirus screening app with new information about Covid-19 symptoms and mask tips.

Apple on Friday issued a new version of its app with updated symptom information and recommendations from the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.

New symptoms that could be signs of Covid-19 include chills, shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and loss of smell or taste.

Previously known symptoms of the disease include fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.

These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus which is responsible for Covid-19, the CDC said.
