The symptoms of any strain of CORONAVIRUS vary greatly, and therefore you should not try to diagnose the disease with the omicron strain covid-19 , in particular for sore throats. This was announced to RBC by a virologist, professor at Moscow State University, DOCTOR of Biological Sciences Alexei Agranovsky.
In mid-January, Chicago Public HEALTH Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady named sore throats as a common symptom among omicron patients, NBC Chicago reported. According to her, people who have been vaccinated with coronavirus often complain of such a symptom. “We definitely see that sore throat is a predictor in this group,” she concluded.
“This strain causes fairly mild symptoms, relatively less damage to the lungs and more to the upper respiratory tract. A sore throat can be a symptom of COVID-19, although not in all cases. If there are suspicions of COVID-19, a test should be done, ”Agranovsky advised.
For the first time in RUSSIA, more than 63 thousand cases of COVID-19 were recorded per day Society
“This is a very hasty statement, because a sore throat can be caused by a variety of reasons, ranging from a bacterial, fungal infection, to a huge number of other viral pathogens,” Larisa Popovich, DIRECTOR of the HSE Institute of Health Economics, said in an interview with RBC.
