Coronavirus by its very nature is contagious. With more than 66 million Brits in the UK – a fraction of whom have been infected – there’s a strong likelihood that others will become contaminated. One report warns of an alarming sign.

A World Health Organisation (WHO) report analysed 56,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

One alarming sign of a person infected with COVID-19, according to the WHO report, was noted as coughing up blood (haemoptysis).

However, this was extremely rare, only showing up in one percent of the 56,000 people whose data was looked at.

Why would somebody cough up blood? According to the NHS, the blood tends to be from the lungs as a result of prolonged coughing or a chest infection.
