More than two years after Covid-19 first emerged, the virus shows no signs going away, with new strains driving infections and reinfections. But as Covid has mutated, it has become increasingly difficult to know what symptoms to look out for.
With cases once again on the rise and the arrival of two new Omicron strains, the signs of the virus are very different from the hacking cough that was the main feature of the first wave back in 2020. And research data has revealed one symptom is being reported among the majority of the new cases.
The Daily Express reported that the virus's ability to spawn subvariants that acquire the capacity to evade immune defences has also changed its typical symptoms. And the latest Omicron offshoots' most common indication is a sore throat.
