An Irish doctor has said that patients who have contracted the BA.2 variant are presenting with unusual symptoms that are not commonly associated with Covid.
Speaking on Radio Kerry, Killarney GP Dr Gary Stack said those who have been infected with the new variant are displaying more severe symptoms.
He said: "It is a subvariant of the Omicron. It appears to be that bit more severe, you know, maybe 10 or 20 per cent more severe than the wave we would have had, say eight weeks ago.
