New Omicron strain that appeared some time ago is more infectious because its virulent stinger protein comes more than the usual strain of coronavirus. After scientists’ investigation, symptoms of Omicron infection are somewhat different from the previous ones, which seem to be milder.
According to the investigation, Angelique Coetzee, president of the South African Medical Association, which first discovered the Omicron virus, confirmed that five more common symptoms of Omicron infection are: hoarse throat, dry cough, extreme fatigue, mild muscle pain and night sweats.
These symptoms are completely different from those of Delta infection, she noted that she has encountered patients with these symptoms, and Omicron does not cause patients to lose their sense of taste or smell. In addition, doctors in South Africa observed that these patients would experience night sweats and sweat until their pajamas and sheets were wet.
In addition, a doctor in England found that 15% of children infected with Omicron had a rash and some children and adolescents had spots on their bodies.
Although Omicron does not cause serious illness and only requires quarantine at home,but we still need to take adequate precautions to avoid contracting the virus.
