Virologist Pavel Volchkov said that the omicron strain is the most dangerous for those who have not been vaccinated and who have not had the coronavirus. He reported this to URA.RU.

He noted that vaccination will help to transfer infection with the strain much easier.

“This is our immune system's way of getting the omicron update too. But those patients who have not been ill may have serious consequences, ”he said.

Earlier, British scientists from the ZOE COVID Study, using information obtained from their application, found a number of symptoms that indicate infection with the omicron strain of COVID-19. According to the researchers, the following symptoms are often found among those who are ill with omicron: runny nose, headache, increased fatigue, frequent sneezing and sore throat.

In addition, the publication also mentions one symptom rare for the new strain - loss of appetite.

Tim Spector, lead researcher at the ZOE Covid Study, says the omicron will dominate the UK by Christmas. According to the scientist, the incidence of the new strain of COVID-19 will be significantly higher than that of all previous variants of the coronavirus.
