The most common symptoms of the British strain of Corona virus

A British survey found that those who tested positive for the British strain of the Coronavirus are more likely to have symptoms of coughing, sore throat and feeling tired, but they are less likely to lose their sense of taste and smell.

It is believed that this strain, which was discovered in southeast Britain last December, is faster and may be linked to a higher death rate, although the data indicates that the increase in mortality rates is uncertain and not severe.

The British National Statistics Office said that other differences have been observed between people with this strain and other Covid-19 patients.

In an analysis of the characteristics of people with Covid-19 in England from 15 November to 16 January this year, he added that loss of taste and smell is much less common in people with the new strain than others.

He pointed out that other symptoms are more common in people with the British strain, and they are clear in coughing, sore throat, feeling tired, muscle pain, and high temperature.

He explained that there was no evidence of difference in gastrointestinal symptoms, shortness of breath or headache.
