Though newer variants of the COVID causing coronavirus have emerged, the symptoms have remained the same. It is to be remembered that since the later part of 2021, the Omicron variant of the coronavirus has been circulating in the environment. The variants that are emerging currently are the sub variants of the Omicron.
The common COVID symptoms that people need to be careful about are fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing, body ache, muscle pain, sore throat, runny or congested nose, and chest pain.
COVID symptoms are similar to that of common cold and flu.
Hence, it is advisable to test for COVID once these symptoms are seen.
