New Symptoms of Omicron Variant Surfacing Rapidly

Omicron, a dangerous variant of the corona virus, has created an atmosphere of panic all over the world. It is spreading rapidly and wreaking havoc in India as well. Till date, 976 cases of Omicron have been reported in the country. The Ministry of Health says that, due to this, the cases of corona are increasing continuously in the country, in which the maximum number of cases have been reported in Delhi and Maharashtra. At the same time, information about the symptoms of Omicron is also being given from time to time by the Ministry of Health.  

Let us tell you that in both the previous waves of corona epidemic, there were common symptoms like fever, cold and cough. But a researcher who was badly affected by Omicron in the United Kingdom has identified two new symptoms. According to Tim Spector, Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London, two new symptoms of Omicron have emerged - nausea and loss of appetite. These symptoms are also being found in people who have been vaccinated for Covid-19 and also in those who have received a booster dose of the vaccine. 

According to Professor Tim Spector, "people are also showing symptoms like nausea, mild fever, sore throat and headache." According to the Centers for Disease Control in the US, some of the common symptoms associated with Omicron are cough, fatigue, phlegm and runny nose. A few weeks earlier, Dr Bruce Patterson had claimed that this variant does not lose the ability to taste and smell like the previous variant. With this, Omicron looks similar to a virus called parainfluenza.
