Smear tests for COVID-19 were sent to people in England, according to the BBC. Each month, 150 received them. people who were drawn. Thanks to this, it was possible to establish that the most frequently observed symptoms have changed. Researchers believe that this is due to the mutations that SARS-CoV-2 underwent.
Loss of smell and taste is no longer as popular a symptom as it was before. Currently, symptoms of the disease such as flu or a cold appear more often.
The omicron still causes a lot of infections in the world. The author of the Zoe Health Study, British epidemiologist, prof. Tim Spector said that “even if people have been infected and are fully vaccinated, they still get” the coronavirus.
