The symptoms of the strain of coronavirus “omicron” subtype BA.2, which is called the “hidden omicron”, are similar to the symptoms of the original strain, the Express writes, citing data from the British Health Security Agency.
According to doctors, the list of the main distinguishing features of the “hidden omicron” included high fever and a prolonged cough. At the same time, the list also includes a loss or change in smell or taste, which are rare with “omicron”.
If you find any of these signs, experts recommend that you immediately consult a doctor, take a test for coronavirus and go into self-isolation.
A new variety of “omicron” BA.2 was revealed last week. It is called the “hidden omicron” because BA.2 is difficult to distinguish from the original BA.1 in the laboratory. However, PCR and antigen tests are unmistakably positive in BA.2 infected individuals.
