In this photo provided by Matt Swider, posted on Twitter on March 9, 2020, American tourist Matt Swider, takes a selfie while in quarantine in the north coast city of Marsa Matrouh, Egypt. When Swider was tested for the new coronavirus on his Nile cruise in Egypt’s tourist hub of Luxor, he assumed the government was just taking extreme precautions.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms. For some it can cause more severe illness. (Matt Swider via AP)
