This is how “Omicron” spreads unintentionally..a mistaken belief that must be watched out
A health expert has warned that people with the mutated "Omicron", the latest strain of the Corona virus, may unintentionally spread, because they believe that it is symptoms of an ordinary cold.
And "Sky News Arabia" quoted Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London, that there is an urgent need to amend the list of the main symptoms of infection with "Covid-19", due to the great similarity between the symptoms of "Omicron" and the classic cold.
Tim expressed his surprise that government campaigns to raise awareness of the symptoms of “Covid-19” did not include a runny nose and headache, sneezing as symptoms of the mutated “Omicron”, and that they were limited to the traditional symptoms of the virus such as high temperature and persistent cough.
The infectious disease expert believes that the wrong awareness leads people who suffer from cold-like symptoms to ignore them, waiting for known symptoms such as fever and loss of sense of smell, as it is the decisive evidence of being infected with the virus, advising people who face any health symptom to hurry up to take a B test.
