Symptoms of the Omicron strain – which indicates infection

Symptoms of the strain “Omicron”

Backache

So, scientists say that the COVID mutation may turn out to be just that. Doctors in South Africa said that patients often experienced muscle pain, which manifested itself in the form of lower back pain.

Sweating while sleeping

Experts say night sweats were not seen as a common symptom of the original coronavirus strain or the Delta variant. It is now considered a common symptom of the Omicron strain.

Loss of appetite

Omicron is known to cause gastrointestinal symptoms. And loss of appetite has become another sign of a new strain of COVID.

Doctor Sanket Jain said that often patients are hospitalized with complaints of loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. In accordance with the protocol, doctors perform PCR, and the result is positive.

Nausea

According to Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, nausea has become a common symptom of the Omicron variant.

“Some had nausea, a slight fever, a sore throat and a headache,” he said.

Note that the new Omicron strain has a short incubation period, and at the end of it, a person is already contagious to others. The virus has the ability to infect the cells of the upper respiratory tract.
