Headache becomes most reported symptom of Covid as cases surge in UK

Research has revealed that a headache has become the most common symptom in people who have contracted Covid-19.

The news comes as cases of the virus continue to rise across the UK, with the increase driven by Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5. Symptoms of the new sub-variants include a cough, runny nose, sore throat, fatigue and muscle pain.

News of the most reported symptom has been issued by the ZOE Covid Study app, which collects information on symptoms which is then analysed by researchers at King’s College London. More than two in three people with Covid who used the app reported a headache as one of their symptoms, The Mirror reports.
