What are the major symptoms of Omicron?

India Today  

Dr Ankita Baidya, infectious diseases expert at Manipal Hospitals in Delhi, on the major symptoms of the new variant, when to take a test and current treatment options What are the symptoms of Omicron and when should one go for a Covid test? Unlike the Delta variant which had symptoms of lower respiratory tract and breathlessness, this time the symptoms are more of the upper respiratory tract—a cough, cold, fatigue and sometimes fever. It is a new strain, it will get into the community, so to keep the spread limited, it is important that people with symptoms get themselves tested right away and quarantine accordingly. So, masks will still work against this variant, and it is important that the public once again revert to Covid-appropriate behaviour to avoid a rapid spread of the new variant.
