London: While the Omicron variant is considered “mild,” the new symptoms include nausea and loss of appetite, according to a study from the Zoe Covid app.

Symptoms of the coronavirus typically include “a high temperature, a new continuous cough, or a loss or change in your sense of smell or taste,” according to the UK NHS, the Daily Express reported.

However, some people have experienced nausea and loss of appetite – symptoms that are not usually associated with Covid.

According to Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, these are common symptoms in those who tend to be doubled or even boosted.

“Quite a few of them had nausea, mild fever, sore throats and headaches,” he said.

The four most common symptoms of the omicron variant are cough, fatigue, stuffiness and runny nose, according to a CDC analysis of the first 43 cases studied in the United States. In some cases, vomiting has also been reported as a symptom in people with the variant, according to the report.

Recent preliminary studies have stated that Omicron appears to be “softer” than the Delta wave variant.

Infected people are 40 to 70 percent less likely to be admitted to hospitals.

Research from an Imperial College London study and a Scottish article Early Pandemic Evaluation and Enhanced Surveillance of Covid-19, indicates that people with Omicron are 15-20% less likely to need ‘hospital treatment.

They are 40 to 45 percent less likely to need an overnight stay in the hospital.
