Experts are concerned about a new variant of Covid that has been identified - and given the codename Centaurus. It comes as nine key symptoms of the virus have been listed and experts explain how to tell the difference between an ordinary sore throat and Covid.
There are concerns about another subvariant of Omicron known as BA.2.75, a variant already nicknamed “Centaurus”. Centaurus contains a significant number of mutations.
Dr Stephen Griffin of the University of Leeds said: “This could mean that it has had the chance to evolve an advantage over an already successful virus lineage.”
