Omicron virus, the new coronavirus Omicron strain, the initial symptoms of the virus infection are not obvious, some patients will have fever, fatigue, dry cough and other symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection.
The Omicron strain of the new coronavirus is a common clinical variant of the new coronavirus, and is also the main clinical cause of the new coronavirus pneumonia. The difference between this disease and previous strains of the new coronavirus is that it is more transmissible, and the initial symptoms of infection are not obvious, and most patients do not even experience clinical symptoms.
Some patients with poor physical condition or more severe disease may show clinical symptoms in the early stage of infection, mostly fever, fatigue, dry cough, itchy throat, muscle pain, nasal congestion, runny nose, and other symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, which can be easily confused with upper respiratory tract infections if the patient does not undergo a nucleic acid test in a timely manner.
It is recommended that patients with unexplained fever, dry cough and other symptoms should consult a doctor in time for examination to clarify whether the infection is caused by the new coronavirus.
