One of the most common symptoms of coronavirus is now a sore throat, according to experts.
Professor Tim Spector, co-founder of the King’s College ZOE symptom tracker app, said some two third of people who have covid experience a sore throat as their first warning sign. Prof Spector also said there are currently around three times as many people with colds as with covid in the UK.
He added: “Fever and loss of smell are really rare now – so many old people may not think they’ve got covid and would say it’s a cold and not be tested.”
