COVID data scientist names common 'omicron' symptoms

Symptoms of the omicron strain of CORONAVIRUS are increasingly similar to the common cold, said Dr Claire Steves, a lecturer at King's College London and a researcher in the ZOE covid Study app. This is reported by the Daily Express.

According to her, in 75% of cases, cold symptoms indicate a coronavirus. The classic symptoms are becoming less common, replaced by a sore throat, headache and runny nose, Steves noted. She recommended that national governments update the list of symptoms.

At the end of December, the HEAD of the Russian Ministry of HEALTH, Mikhail Murashko, referring to scientists' data, named the first symptoms of "omicron", which are similar to SARS. An infected person feels a sore throat, muscle pain, he also has a fever and general symptoms of intoxication.
