If there are symptoms like sore throat, runny nose, and headache there is an increased chance they will be COVID, revealed report.

‘For most people, an Omicron positive case will feel much more like common cold, starting with a sore throat, runny nose, and a headache. You only need to ask a friend who has recently tested positive to find this out.’

They described an "explosion" of Covid cases over the last week, driven by the new Omicron variant, the report said. About 144,000 people a day are catching it and then feeling unwell, it added.
For most, Covid is a mild disease, some get no symptoms at all. But it can still cause very serious illness in some people, including those who have not been vaccinated.
If you have cold-like symptoms, take a Covid test, says lead scientist Tim Spector.
"The number of new symptomatic cases has exploded over the last week," he said.
