A survey carried out by the American platform Web MD showed that fatigue affects more strongly women infected with the Ômicron variant of Covid-19. Despite the symptom being quite common in people with Ômicron, approximately one third of men said they had suffered from fatigue while about 40% of female participants described extreme tiredness as one of the main difficulties related to Covid-19.

In comparison, 18% of men said the symptom recurred during the weeks they were infected. Among women, the figure was 25%. The number of participants who did not report fatigue was 34% of men and 23% of women. The research used data from 489 participants (120 men and 369 women) who reported having the disease between December 23 and January 4 this year.
Data from the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) show that loss of taste and smell, persistent cough and fever are the main symptoms of Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. The British Office for National Statistics (ONS) adds fatigue and headache to the symptoms.
Fatigue is reported by 62% of Covid-19 patients and pointed out in studies as an early sign of infection by the Ômicron variant. The symptom is characterized by extreme tiredness resulting from mental, physical exertion or illness. Therefore, the cause ends up being confused with other conditions.
Muscle pain has also been linked to Covid-19. This is because the body is constantly trying to fight the virus, also generating a feeling of continual fatigue.
