“A covid runny nose does not differ from a non-covid one, unfortunately, in nothing.
This is nasal congestion, first discomfort in the throat, then discharge from the nose.
They start as watery, then go mucous, and then they can even turn into purulent, and all this can be a manifestation of COVID-19, ”Leskov said in an interview with Sputnik radio.
He recommended taking a PCR test for coronavirus with a runny nose in order to exclude the possibility of COVID-19.
Earlier, infectious disease doctor Yevgeny Timakov spoke about the increase in cases of loss of smell among patients with a subspecies of the omicron BA.2 coronavirus strain.
Professor Nikolai Malyshev, in an interview with Nation News, commented on the possible development of the situation with the pandemic.
