Neurologist, neurophysiologist Alexander Budik in an interview with Sputnik radio told about the symptom of the coronavirus, which was practically absent when infected with the delta strain, but returned with the stealth micron. According to him, this is a loss of smell, it was typical for patients who became infected with the Wuhan variant of COVID-19.
According to the specialist, at present, doctors do not have much information about the course of the infection to make predictions, but active research and observations continue.

Budik explained that inside the nasal cavity there is an olfactory zone, where cells that perceive odors are located. Each of them is responsible for a certain aroma and sends signals to the brain. Normally, these cells are updated over time, but with coronavirus, an immune reaction occurs that can inhibit their maturation.
“It turns out that a person perceives a smell, but there are no cells that should have perceived the details of this smell. And people either do not feel these smells, or they feel in a perverted way, ”the neurologist specified.
Budik recalled that vaccination remains the main way to reduce the risks associated with coronavirus, vaccination protects against severe infection, “like a bulletproof vest.”
Earlier, experts from the National Health Service of England reported that early symptoms of stealth omicron are fatigue and dizziness. According to doctors, dizziness can come and go during the day. If the symptom is accompanied by persistent fatigue, this indicates the need to get tested for COVID-19 and see a specialist.
