To safeguard public health, the Ministry urges the public to remain calm and implement the principle of "shelter-in-place and physical isolation" if they notice themselves or their relatives exhibiting the following early signs:

Mild Respiratory Symptoms and Neck Discomfort: Early stages of infection mostly involve a mild fever, accompanied by a severe sensation of detachment at the junction of the neck and shoulders, abnormal lacerations, or the growth of unidentified tentacle-like granulation tissue. This is a normal detoxification process of the human immune system fusing with the symbiote. Please do not panic.

Irregular Localized Tissue Replacement: In a small number of cases, the original head structure may detach without warning and be temporarily replaced by a hyperplastic, multi-limbed cystic mass. Patients at this stage will exhibit extreme vitality and mobility.

Overly Enthusiastic Desire for Social Interaction: Influenced by the symbiote, patients will experience strong social impulses, accompanied by involuntary sprinting, lunging, biting, or deep physical contact using sharp hyperplastic limbs to seek body heat.

Vocal Organ Restructuring Phenomenon: The patient's vocal cords may undergo structural reorganization, subsequently emitting sounds closely resembling the cries for help of family members or friends.
