WHO names new symptoms of COVID-strain “Omicron” New subspecies Omicron XBB. 5, which is now circulating around the world and has already become a major problem in the US, has been named the most contagious strain, although there is no evidence yet that it is more dangerous..

World Health Organization officials voice their concerns.

Professor Cyril Cohen, head of the Immunotherapy Laboratory at Bar Ilan University, confirms that this is a highly contagious variant that spreads at a significant rate.. Right now this strain is mainly focused on the US, but it is likely that we will soon see it spread around the world..

WHO notes that the nature of the disease caused by this variant is different from what we knew until last year. “On the one hand, we do not see more serious symptoms, fortunately. On the other hand, there are many symptoms that bother people - some of them are less familiar and should be paid attention to."

List of new symptoms published by WHO: nausea and back pain.

Previously known symptoms are also observed: headaches, diarrhea, fever, chills, fatigue, as well as loss of taste and smell.
