Hirsh said many of the patients who were experiencing abdominal pain didn’t have any respiratory symptoms.
He added that at the time, many of his younger patients were displaying the abdominal pain symptom as opposed to respiratory issues.

“Symptoms that you’d see, nausea, diarrhoea and fever, at this point I would warn the public, they shouldn’t write off those symptoms just the routine springtime gastroenteritis or flu,” warned Hirsh.
