Over the two years since the coronavirus outbreak a number of variants have been detected, with Omicron being the latest to dominate cases in the UK.
Back in November 2021, Omicron was the most dominate strain of Covid-19 in the UK and the BA.2 Omicron strain made up 85 per cent of cases in Scotland in March 2022.
Experts warn that those vaccinated could mistake Omicron for a cold, but new research could help you identify the difference.
