According to the newspaper, “The Daily Star”, many infected people in Britain recorded through a phone application that monitors symptoms of infection with the Omicron mutant that they had a rash.
The app asks for Zoe Covid ZOE Covid Hundreds of thousands of people have reported symptoms of the virus – a rash has been monitored and classified as the “key” to finding out if a person has an omicron.
The monitor app will record two different types of rashes:
- The first, and the most common, is a hives-like rash that looks like raised bumps and can be very itchy. It is believed that the rash begins to appear on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet.
- The second rash is a “spinal” rash and appears all over the body, most commonly on the elbows, knees, and the backs of the hands and feet.
According to the analytical study of the application ZOE The other five symptoms that were monitored associated with infection with the Omicron mutant are a runny nose, headache, mild or severe fatigue, sneezing and sore throat, in contrast to the symptoms that were observed in people with previous corona mutant such as coughing, fever, loss of sense of smell and taste.
With the rise in cases of the Omicron mutant, Professor Tim Spector, who is supervising the analytical study through the app ZOE , that the omicron mutant numbers paint a “worrying picture”.
He pointed out that the number of registered new infections that showed symptoms during the past week constitutes the largest jump in the number of cases that have been recorded since the start of the analytical study through the ZOE Covid application.
He added: “While the numbers paint a worrying picture, the good news, with our preliminary data based on about 2,500 probable cases reported via the ZOE app, confirms that the symptoms of omicron infection are less severe than that of the delta mutant.
Professor Spector called for avoiding public gatherings and making sure that those who come into contact with them are not infected with colds, in addition to being careful to take vaccinations.
“We need to urgently change the messaging to the public to save lives because half of the people with cold-like symptoms are infected with the coronavirus,” he added.
