Symptoms of COVID19 in Spanish

In this audio lesson, we practice discussing symptoms of COVID19 in Spanish. We used information from the CDC to make this lesson. We start by reviewing symptoms we have covered in prior lessons. Then, we cover some new symptoms, such as loss of smell or taste. After we review the symptoms, we will practice asking questions about and discussing the symptoms of COVID19 in Spanish. Finally, we will talk about worrisome symptoms that would indicate that someone should seek medical attention.
