Out of all the people testing Covid positive, the majority of them have both digestive and respiratory symptoms.

The microbes that augment diarrhoea are always present in the environment. And it is so easy to contact them. Several factors cause diarrhoea. Sometimes it is the food you eat, while sometimes indigestions can be a factor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People also refer to it as \u2018loose motion\u2019. Acute diarrhoea lasts for around a day or two. That subsides via home care, without needing any medication.
