More than 200 different symptoms impacting 10 body organs were identified by the science table as being associated with COVID-19.
“It can affect anybody who is infected,” Fahad Razak, internal medicine physician at St. Michael’s Hospital and a member of the COVID-19 science advisory table, told CTV News Toronto at the time.
