Doctors are seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases, with symptoms that differ from previous ones. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that back-to-school season is contributing to the increase. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common, sometimes leading to mild dehydration.

Fevers and upper respiratory-type symptoms are still present as well. Further information on the COVID-19 spike and its causes can be found through additional reporting, which includes comments from a medical director of emergency services at a hospital.
