New COVID-19’s Omicron Symptoms Have Been Discovered

A new study found two symptoms that are not usually associated with COVID-19 in the Omicron variant.

The COVID-19 variant Omicron is considered to be mild but two new symptoms include nausea and loss of appetite, according to a Zoe Covid app study.

The symptoms of coronavirus generally include high temperature, continuous cough, or a loss or change in the sense of smell or taste.

Coronavirus
Coronaviruses infect animals, humans, and birds. Human coronaviruses, such as SARS, MERS, and 2019-nCoV cause respiratory distress and even death. The S protein is the infectious agent of the virus.

According to Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, these are common symptoms in those who tend to be double-jabbed or even boosted.

A few of them also had nausea, slight temperature, sore throat, and headache.
