Experts have warned that a ‘devastating’ covid wave is about to break over winter in the UK.
A drop in testing and insufficient monitoring of new immune-evasive subvariants could lead to a wave of infections. And, with a new wave of the pandemic virus comes a new variety of symptoms.
A new dominant symptom is being reported - with two-thirds of all people now reporting having a sore throat when they first contract covid as opposed to a loss of smell or a fever.
