Runny Nose and Sore throats are increasingly been a factor in vaccinated people with Omicron. But the Omicron variants patient reports fewer instances of cold, fever, cough, and loss of taste or smell.
As soon as Omicron variants keeps spreading, doctors noticed slight differences in their patients' symptoms prior to the variants. Mild, a cold-like symptoms such as sore throats, sneezing, and runny noses were increasingly common. But the symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, cough, loss of taste, and loss of smell had down the drain.
"The common reported symptoms of Omicron are really very much like cold, especially in people who've been vaccinated.
Common Symptoms Of Delta variant?
According to a research, headache is now frequently a reported symptom, followed by sore throat, runny nose and fever. Cough is even very rare compare to the earlier symptoms of COVID.
For the , contracting COVID-19 feels more like a "bad cold" leading some to "still go out to parties and spread it to around six other people", Prof Spector explained.
He continued to say the data shows the Delta variant is "actually much more transmissible than many experts thought" with the latest estimates suggesting it is around twice as transmissible as the original variant.
"We think this is fuelling a lot of the problem.
"This is a very sticky virus and it is explaining in a way why it has done so much damage in such a short time."
An 'off feeling'
The professor also noted a "funny off feeling" being a reason to stay at home.
He said: "The message here is if you are young, and you are going to get milder symptoms anyway, it might just feel like a bad cold or a funny off feeling, but do stay at home and do get a test."
The government website says people can get a lateral flow test
• by collecting one from a test site
• picking one up from a pharmacy (in England only)
• or by visiting a site to get a test done
Prof Spector said: "This is really important to reduce the transmission of this virus particularly in the young, by people acting sensibly.
"So if you feel unwell just stay at home for a few days until it passes."
If people suspect they have COVID-19, they must isolate and get a test at a testing facility or order a home-test kit.
What about vaccines?
As of 15 June, a total of 72,040,763 vaccine doses have been administered in the UK, with 41,831,056 people receiving their first jab and 30,209,707 receiving their second.
Professor Spector said on 9 June: "This is a current epidemic of the young and the unvaccinated - the main increase this week has been in 20 to 29-year-old age group and most cases are still in the under 40-year-olds.
"There is still good protection from double vaccination, we are not seeing as much protection as earlier in the year from a single vaccination".
He urged people to get vaccinated and not to delay having their second dose, saying this is "a reason not to be complacent if you have just had that first shot".
