New research claims Omicron has cold-like symptoms, resembles parainfluenza

As the Omicron coronavirus variant spreads around the world, British scientists say its symptoms now match the common cold. They also urged the British government to include more symptoms in its public health policy on coronavirus disease (Covid-19).

The most common symptoms reported by British scientists are runny nose, headache, fatigue, sneezing and sore throat. This is based on an analysis of confirmed cases in London, as listed in the Zoe Covid app.

According to the Guardian’s report on data analysis, at least half of people who reported having cold-like symptoms tested positive for Covid-19. But only half of infected users also reported three typical symptoms—fever, cough, or loss of smell or taste—the Guardian further reported.

A scientific advisory board also supported this analysis at a meeting on Thursday, saying that reports of loss of smell or taste do not appear to be frequent.

On Thursday, Dr. Bruce Patterson, who works at the single-cell diagnostic company IncellDx, also claimed that he did not see much loss of taste and smell compared to the previous variant. He added that patients affected by Omicron also suffer from fatigue, as in the case of other coronavirus variants.

Dr. Patterson said Omicron looks similar to a virus called parainfluenza.

So far, the strain caused by Omicron is less severe than the early variants of the Sars-CoV-2 virus. A doctor in the UK revealed a new Covid-19 symptom caused by a variant of Omicron-night sweats are really serious.

Dr. Amir Khan, a doctor from the British National Health Service, told The Sun last week about the “obvious signs” that sweating is “the kind of night sweats that you might have to get up and change clothes for.”

Omicron was detected in samples from South Africa on November 24 and has since been confirmed in more than 100 countries. Omicron has 37 mutations and is therefore considered more resistant to drugs.
