In the last two and a half years, the corona virus has changed a lot and along with it the symptoms associated with this disease have also changed. Many experts believe that this is due to our vaccination status while others said that the virus has been weakened due to mutation. But whatever it is, the associated symptoms are not as deadly today as they were a year ago.
Now, new studies show that previous ‘traditional’ symptoms (which are still recognized by some governments as common symptoms) such as anosmia (loss of smell), shortness of breath and fever rank 6, 29 and 8, respectively. is on. ,
In such circumstances, since the diseases have changed so much, how can one recognize that he is infected with COVID by the symptoms alone?
Now what are the most common symptoms of COVID?
Runny nose, headache, sneezing, sore throat and persistent cough are the most common symptoms of people having COVID. A study by the UK-based ZOE COVID Tracker said, “We observed that people who had been vaccinated and then tested positive for COVID-19 had the same symptoms as those without the jab. were more likely to report sneezing.”
If you’ve been vaccinated and start sneezing a lot without explanation, you should get a COVID test, especially if you’re living or working around people who are at high risk of getting the disease. adds up.
The study found that the new list of symptoms of COVID-19 differs from the traditional more severe COVID-19 symptoms such as persistent cough, loss of smell, fever and shortness of breath.
Furthermore, the study also showed that Omicron is much less likely to affect the lower respiratory tract, where the virus causes more damage and causes severe symptoms.
Should we worry about the new Omicron variant?
Currently, several Omicron variants are proceeding independently. These subtypes are on a global increase because they can spread faster than their predecessors. They are good at evading immunity and are at increased risk of re-infection despite vaccination and natural immunity from previous infections.
