The main symptoms of Omicron are runny nose, headache, weakness, sneezing, and sore throat. In addition, fever and loss of smell are occasionally found.
An infectious disease professor explained regarding Omicron virus, “It is less dangerous than Delta and has a slightly higher transmission and severity compared to seasonal flu.”
