Today’s most common sign of the variant Omicron

Professor Tim Spector, head of the UK’s Covid-19 Symptom Research App, shares the most common symptoms of Covid-19 patients.

Cough and fever are not as common as they used to be. The most common manifestation of the disease is a runny nose, recorded in 83% of Covid-19 patients at the moment. In addition, people infected with Covid-19 also have sneezing, headache, muscle pain, eye pain, loss of appetite…

Omicron is a milder strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and thus produces non-specific symptoms in the majority of patients, especially in vaccinated individuals.

Most people can recover with self-treatment and rest at home with flu-like symptoms for a few days. Some people have only one or two symptoms.

Covid-19 is still very common in the UK, but the number of cases has dropped from a peak of up to 100,000 cases/day to more than 10,000 cases. In addition, the number of people hospitalized did not increase.

Dr Mary Ramsay, Director of the Public Health Program at the UK Health Security Agency, said: “It is encouraging that the number of people admitted to hospital has decreased this week. We will closely monitor the Covid-19 situation in the coming weeks.”

“If you have any symptoms of a respiratory infection such as a fever, try to stay at home and limit contact with others – especially the elderly or vulnerable. Vaccination remains necessary for all eligible subjects.

According to studies, the Covid-19 vaccine is the best defense. Accordingly, symptoms in patients who received 3 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine only lasted half as long as a common cold.

Currently in the UK, people infected with Covid-19 are not required to be isolated. However, health officials recommend that they stay home for five days when they are most contagious. They can go back to school, go to work without a fever and are healthy enough.
