Delta Variant Symptoms Differ From Traditional Covid - What To Look Out For

As the coronavirus has evolved, common COVID-19 symptoms have been changing. In the UK, where the Delta strain dominates, a self-reporting system has shown that symptoms have changed. The most common symptoms have been headache, sore throat, runny nose, fever and a persistent cough – things most of us would brush off as a ‘winter sniffle’. Loss of smell or taste is no longer particularly common with the Delta variant.

So why have we seen more cases presenting with headaches, sore throats and runny noses? Symptoms can change depending on the strain of virus, but also the types of people being infected – whether they are younger, older, at risk, on medications etc. The important thing to remember is if you are experiencing ANY symptoms, even if it’s just a ‘cold’, you need to go and get tested.
