Abstract
The study included 747 students. Out of 747 students 399 (53.4%) were women and 348 (46.6%) were men. According to the respondents, 22.6% (n=169) of them had a new coronavirus infection. Different symptoms of COVID-19 were observed in 72.58% of those interviewed. They were loss of taste (82.8%), fever (67.4%) and headache (67.4 %). Chills (47.3%), coughing (40.8%), pain in the throat (36.6%), shortness of breath (23.6%) and nausea (21.3%) were less frequent. 27.4% of respondents can assume asymptomatic course of the disease. A direct weak correlation between smoking and symptoms (cough, shortness of breath) of COVID-19 (r=0.39) has been identified. 59.8% (n=447) of respondents were diagnosed via PCR-test. At the same time, 62.2% (n=278) of the students had no COVID-19 confirmation. Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were determined in a total of 28.51% (n=213) of the respondents. Fibrinogen and D-dimer levels were determined in 9.4% and 7.1% of the students surveyed, respectively. Chest X-Rays were done in 22.6% (n=169) of respondents. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs (75.1%) were clearly prevalent among young students in the structure of therapeutic interventions for new coronavirus infection.
