The Zoe COVID Symptom Studyin the U.K. has enabled hundreds of thousands of people to self-report their symptoms through smartphone apps. One of the apps’ co-founders, Tim Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London, said that based on Zoe data, a runny nose is still the most common symptom of omicron, followed by fatigue,...
BA.1 and BA.2 are about as genetically similar as delta was to alpha, experts said. In general, the chances of getting Covid after a prior infection increase with time, but Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said people who recovered from an omicron infection in the winter are likely to have protecti...
BA.2 and BA.2.12.1 aren't the only omicron subvariants health leaders are watching. In South Africa, two others — BA.4 and BA.5 — have spurred a major case surge. Those two sublineages have been detected in at least 13 U.S. states and Washington D.C. as well. A small preprint study by South African scientists, posted online last month, suggested pe...
Vaccinations, masks, testing and social distancing can help control the spread of the prevailing omicron strains, experts said. Although scientists are still studying how vaccination protection fares in the face of the new subvariants, Adalja said, young, healthy people probably won't need a fourth shot. "With these first-generation mRNA vaccines, ...

Dec 21, 2021 · With the BA.2 variant, sometimes called “stealth Omicron,” driving a surge of cases in Europe, people are eager to distinguish the symptoms of Omicron from those of other coronavirus variants ...
Feb 1, 2022 · February 1, 2022. The highly transmissible omicron variant now accounts for almost all COVID-19 cases around the world, but a subvariant ― omicron BA.2 ― has emerged that appears to be even more contagious. Cases of omicron BA.2 are limited in the U.S., but COVID-19 experts at Mayo Clinic say the number is growing, especially overseas.
Aug 17, 2023 · Since then, several sub-variants of Omicron have surfaced, including BA.2, BA.3, BA.4, and BA.5. By the summer of 2022, the BA.5 variant was the most dominant strain in the US.
