The Omicron BA.2.75 subvariant, dubbed ‘Centaurus’, has recently made people nervous. This is because the new wave due to BA.4 and BA.5 has not subsided. Experts fear the emergence of ‘Centaurus’ is prolonging the crisis period due to the new outbreak.
‘Centaurus’ was originally identified in India, but eventually spread to several countries including Indonesia.
There is no certainty regarding the dangers of the Centaurus subvariant, but this variant is believed to be more contagious than the previous one. The World Health Organization still includes the Omicron variant as a variant of concern 9VoC), so the emergence of ‘Centaurus’ still has to be watched out for.

So, which body pain is a symptom of Omicron?
Referring to the ZOE COVID study, back pain is one of the symptoms often experienced by COVID-19 patients, especially the Omicron variant. Prof Tim Spector explained that one in five people infected with the Omicron variant, experience symptoms of back pain.
Even so, until now there has been no further explanation regarding the cause of people with the Omicron variant experiencing back pain. “Back pain is described by some patients as intense menstrual cramps, kidney stones or muscle spasms,” said health experts at VaccinesWork, quoted by the Times of India, Thursday (21/7/2022).
However, please note that not all back pain or pain is caused by COVID-19. Other symptoms that can arise and must be watched out for are sore throat, coughing, sneezing, fever, respiratory symptoms, and fatigue due to strenuous activity.
