Covid cases are beginning to rise dramatically across the UK as a new variant sweeps across the country.
The so-called 'Kraken' variant - otherwise known as XBB1.5 - has slowly begun accounting for a large amount of cases. The sub-lineage Omicron variant of the virus has doubled its presence in the UK in first two weeks of 2021.
On January 12, 11 per cent of cases were due to this growing strain. Because of this, members of the public may begin paying more attention to their symptoms, however, if you have one particular symptom, you may not need to be worried.
