People are being told to assume they have Covid if they begin suffering from two specific symptoms.
Professor Tim Spector, co-founder of the Covid ZOE app, the symptom reporting platform, has revealed there are twice as many Covid cases at the moment as there are common colds, saying “the ratio has never been so high”. He urged people to still use Covid testing if possible, and to stay away from others if they feel unwell.

On the predominant signs of Covid, he said: “Symptoms much the same except generally more fatigue and sore throat - so best to assume it’s Covid! Hopefully, this wave will be over soon. Try to get tested if you can. If you can’t get tested, assume you’ve got a cold and stay away from other people until you feel better.”
