THE Omicron variant has proved to be one of the most infectious variants with cases on the rise all over the country.
Health experts said that most people who get Omicron experience flu-like symptoms and that the illness is mild compared to other variants.
Booster shots protect against Omicron and offer the best chance to get through the pandemic.
The main symptoms of COVID-19, according to the CDC, are a new persistent cough, a high temperature and a loss of taste and smell.
Omicron, however, presents itself differently. This is why it’s important to know which symptoms you should never ignore.
At the moment, symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing and a sore throat are some of the most recorded. Muscle aches and night sweats are also key symptoms.
If you’ve been working out, you might confuse muscle aches to be sore, which is why it’s important to get tested if you’re unsure.
Those suffering from night sweats might not even know they could be related to Omicron. Some people have night sweats due to menopause, anxiety, certain medications, or hyperhidrosis—a condition that makes you sweat a lot.
