The 2 most visible symptoms in Omicron patients
The Omicron variant is spreading faster than the delta variant of COVID-19, but on the basis of various studies done so far, it is said that hospitals in Omicron compared to Delta The risk of admission and death is very low. But still it is wise to stay away from Omicron, as it spreads 4 times faster than Delta. The symptoms of Omicron are similar to the symptoms of a cold. Preliminary studies have shown that this new variant is quite mild, but symptoms like mild fever, sore throat, extreme body pain, night sweats, vomiting and loss of appetite may indicate the presence of Omicron in the body.
On the basis of study and research, new symptoms of Omicron are coming out. On the basis of the findings of various studies, 2 such symptoms have come to the fore, which are seen in most of the people.

According to the study published in The Sun, Omicron’s 2 symptoms include runny nose and headache, which are the most commonly seen. According to Irene Peterson, Professor of Epidemiology and Health Informatics at University College London, runny nose and headache are symptoms of many other infections, but they can also be symptoms of COVID-19 or Omicron. If someone sees these 2 symptoms, then he should get his COVID test done.
At the same time, some time ago the President of the Medical Association of South Africa and the first person to do the Omicron variant in South Africa, Dr. Angelique Coetzee said that patients who are infected with Omicron have a loss of smell or taste. No signs of deficiency have been shown. Apart from this, there were no cases of stuffy nose or very high fever in Omicron infected patients, which were the main symptoms of Delta. That’s why there can be a big difference between Omicron and Delta.
