New variants of Covid-19 have been moving across the country for three years now. Ever since the pandemic was first declared in 2020, there have been different symptoms associated with different waves.

Professor Tim Spector, co-founder of the ZOE Health Study, explains that while a sore throat and runny nose are the most common symptoms of Covid right now, a fever may indicate you have the flu instead.
