Health experts have identified a new common symptom of Covid as a new wave sweeps Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Despite a general drop-off in testing, the Liverpool Echo reports that a new dominant symptom has been found - with two-thirds of patients reporting having a sore throat when they first contract the virus - as opposed to a loss of smell or a fever.
Professor Tim Spector, co-founder of the Covid ZOE app told The Independent: “It looks like we’re in the start of the next wave and this time it’s affected older people slightly earlier than the last wave. Many people are still using the government guidelines about symptoms which are wrong.
