Omicron became the dominant variant of Covid in the UK in November 2021, having first been detected in southern Africa and Hong Kong a month earlier. Recent research could help you determine the difference between Omicron and a cold, according to a report in the Independent.
Research from Norway looked at how Omicron affects the fully vaccinated. The study interviewed 111 of 117 guests from a party on 26 November 2021 where there was an Omicron outbreak, with 89 per cent of the participants having had two Covid jabs.
Of those interviewed, 66 had definite cases of Covid-19 as well as 15 possible cases. Findings published in infectious disease and epidemiology journal Eurosurveillance stated that there were eight key symptoms experienced by the group of fully vaccinated partygoers.
