For those who have been vaccinated against covid or have been ill, after infection with the omicron strain, the disease is most similar to the flu or SARS. This was stated by the deputy director for clinical and analytical work of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor Natalya Pshenichnaya.
According to her, Lenta.Ru reports, if a person has already been ill or vaccinated, then he will get sick with “omicron” with a normal or slightly elevated temperature, there will also be a runny nose, sore throat, dry cough. That is, the symptoms are similar to a respiratory infection or the flu.
For those who have not been ill and not vaccinated, the picture will be more “bright”, the expert clarified. This is an increase in temperature to 38 degrees, general weakness, headache, aching muscles and joints, Pshenichnaya added.
Omicron can be asymptomatic in those who have been vaccinated or have been ill recently. In such cases, covid, as a rule, is detected during a screening examination as a contact person.
Recall that earlier Pshenichnaya said that lung damage with an omicron strain of coronavirus develops after the ninth to tenth day of illness. The risk group is primarily people with chronic diseases and the elderly. Omicron mainly affects the upper respiratory tract and concentrates in the bronchi, and here the concentration of the new variant of the coronavirus is 70 times higher than in the delta.
