As Omicron symptoms appear to be similar to those of a common cold, it's more important than ever to get tested.
Clearly, there's some crossover in symptoms between the Omicron variant and flu, including headaches, sore throats, and feeling tired/fatigued.In a previous interview with GLAMOUR , Dr. Daniel Cichi, a GP and medical advisor at, advised that the symptoms of a cold “usually tend to stay in the upper airways which means that you will most likely have nasal congestion, sneezing, and a sore throat.
Whereas, “With Covid-19 you may be coughing a lot and continuously which may be accompanied by shortness of breath. The loss of taste and smell may be more noticeable and extreme with a Covid-19 infection compared to a regular cold, which may only cause slight changes to your taste and smell.” While this advice may be useful for distinguishing between a common cold and previous strains of coronavirus, it's now being suggested that sneezing and having a sore throat could be indicators of the Omicron variant.
