Omicron variant symptoms: warn scientists [TKB Health]

Omicron Variant: Omicron variant is spreading very fast across the world. According to the World Health Organization, this variant has spread to 77 countries so far and the speed of this variant of corona is higher than any other strain. A record 88376 cases of corona virus have been found in Britain on Thursday, while in America, cases of Omicron have been reported in 36 states. In India too Omicron  reached 97 and increasing every day .  In view of the fast pace of Omicron, it has become very important to know its symptoms so that the infection can be prevented from spreading in time.

The most common symptom of Omicron – Scientists around the world are engaged in understanding the behavior of Omicron. The data so far shows that this variant of the corona virus is more contagious but less severe than the previous variant so far. Its symptoms are also mild compared to the symptoms of corona so far. However, in all the patients found so far, one symptom is common and that is a sore throat.

Dr Ryan Noch, CEO of Discovery Health, South Africa, said in a recent press briefing that doctors have observed a slightly different pattern in symptoms of Omicron positive patients. The initial symptom of infection in all of them was a sore throat. After this, symptoms like nasal congestion, dry cough, muscle and lower back pain were found. The doctor said that all these symptoms are mild but it does not mean that Omicron is less dangerous.

British health experts have also agreed with Dr Notch. Sir John Bell said in a BBC radio program that preliminary data suggests Omicron is behaving very differently than previous coronaviruses. He said, ‘The symptoms of this particular virus are different from the previous variants. Stuffy nose, sore throat, muscle pain and diarrhea are symptoms that should be looked out for.
