Doctor Prima Reminds Tegal Residents to Beware of Omicron, These are Symptoms and How to Prevent it

TRIBUNJATENG.COM, TEGAL – Head of City Health Office TegalDr Sri Primawati Indraswari appealed to the public to be aware of the transmission of the new Covid-19 variant, the Omicron variant.

That’s because the Omicron variant has a very fast transmission.

Prima said, the symptoms themselves are the same as for other Covid-19 variants, including the Delta variant.

Symptoms can include fever, headache, runny nose, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, and loss of sense of smell and taste.

“Omicron is indeed transmitting faster than Delta. But the symptoms are almost the same, like flu,” said Prima to tribunjateng.com, Friday (7/1/2022).

Prima explained, to prevent the potential for contracting Omicron, the main key is health protocols.

Because the virus is transmitted through breathing.

He advised the public to tighten health protocols again.

Wear masks properly, wash hands with soap, and avoid crowds.

If you feel the flu, immediately go to the nearest health center or health clinic.
