Most of Omicron’s symptoms are the same as those of a common cold.
Professor Tim Spector said that most people with Omicron do not have the classic symptoms such as loss of smell and taste.
“Things like fever, cough and loss of smell are now the minority of symptoms we see,” he said.
However, there are five symptoms that have been identified as signs of Omicron:
-
itchy throat
-
dry cough,
-
constant fatigue
-
muscle pain,

sometimes even night sweats.
It is noted that people may be asymptomatic, but they can infect others about two days before symptoms appear and for 10 days thereafter. Therefore, people are asked to isolate themselves if they test positive, even if they have no symptoms.
