???? What are the symptoms of the new variant?
Fever, chills, body aches, headaches are the main signs. This variant of Covid-19 therefore resembles flu-like symptoms. In addition, the loss of smell and taste would not be part of the symptoms for this new variant, which makes it more difficult to differentiate it from the flu, for example.

???? If I am sick, how long should I stay isolated?
Contagiousness varies from person to person and lasts longer for unvaccinated or immunocompromised people. According to the High Authority for Health, the period when we are contagious is eight days on average. Contaminated persons can transmit the virus up to 48 hours before perceiving the symptoms, and between three and six days following the disappearance of the latter.
Since January 31, isolation is no longer mandatory. It is therefore a matter of common sense, so as not to contaminate your loved ones, your colleagues or vulnerable people. Moreover, work stoppages are no longer obtained automatically when you declare yourself positive to Covid-19. It is up to the attending physician to issue it, depending on the severity of the symptoms.
???? Can we still get tested?
Many pharmacies continue to offer antigen tests, as do some laboratories, although the number has decreased in recent months. Charged at €16.50, they are no longer covered at 100%, but at 70% by Health Insurance for vaccinated people. For those who have not been vaccinated, these tests are not reimbursed. On the other hand, no more SMS to warn you of the result, you have to wait on site for 15 minutes to find out.
Self-tests are still sold in pharmacies for €3.35 even if they are less effective according to health professionals.
