Coronavirus symptoms: How do you determine whether your symptoms are from the original COVID strain or from a new strain? 

01/8 How do you know you have the new COVID strain?

Knowing the first signs and symptoms of the new coronavirus is a way to eliminate infection in its infancy. With new mutations of COVID, awareness becomes more important. With cases related to the new coronavirus mutation increasing alarmingly around the world, experts feel that even the smallest mistakes and ignorance will cost us a lot.

02/8 What is the danger of the new strain of Corona virus?

Not only is the breed newer in the UK, one of the fastest growing and by far the most contagious, it is also said to have a higher mortality rate than ever before. Young people, as well as high-risk groups, are also now at risk, and more vulnerable to contracting the virus.

03/8 How is the new strain of COVID diagnosed?

It was first reported to have originated around September, in December, nearly a quarter of the cases in London were supposed to be related to the new mutation of the virus.

At this time, the only way to diagnose a new strain is by sequencing the sample gene.

However, while sequencing is still under investigation, experts have noted a common trend in the symptoms that accompany the new strain and those that differentiate it from the old one.

Doctors across the UK have noted slight deviations in the incidence of specific symptoms or symptoms that differ between the two COVID strains.

Here are some methods that can help you distinguish between the original COVID strain and the most deadly strain, variant B.1.1.7

04/8 common symptoms of the original coronavirus strain

Infection with the new coronavirus, which is spread by SARS-COV-2, can trigger a cascade of symptoms in a vector. The more we know about the disease, the more potential symptoms associated with it.

Widely classified as a respiratory virus, a person infected with COVID-19 can experience symptoms such as a persistent and persistent (dry) cough, low or high fever, and loss of smell and taste. These are three common symptoms with COVID-19.

A large percentage of people can also be asymptomatic, meaning they do not have any symptoms. Apart from that, COVID-19 can also cause symptoms like diarrhea, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, nausea, mental confusion, weakness, etc. Symptoms can also vary, depending on the severity of the infection.

05/8 How is it different from the new variant?

Now, according to NHS guidelines, the most common symptoms observed in people with the new strain of COVID (British variant) are fever, sore throat, muscle aches, cough and fatigue.

Muscle pain, headache, and fatigue, which can also be signs of chronic inflammation and last for a long time, are frequent signs of the new coronavirus mutation. Remember that other signs and symptoms may also be experienced.

There is also mounting evidence indicating that the highest transmissible strain may not only infect more people, but also have a higher symptom phase before symptoms / asymptomatic, which is said to be the time when a person is most likely to transmit COVID.

In India, where the new strain is spreading slowly, initial cases have also been found without symptoms.

06/8 Are there any symptoms that have not been reported less?

As the investigation progresses, we will have to wait to find out exactly what the new coronavirus mutation means.

However, doctors certify that many people with the new strain do not report a loss of their sense of smell and taste, otherwise this is a typical sign in 60% of COVID cases as the main symptom.

Many also feel that people who test positive for the new strain are less likely to report a very high temperature, which may occur quite commonly.

Other than this, no difference was reported in the severity of symptoms such as shortness of breath, gastrointestinal pain, or nausea.

07/8 What about other breeds?

The British alternative is, of all the mutations lurking at the moment, the most sinister.

Research is still underway to see if other known variants, including the South African strain, and the Brazilian strain also show different symptoms or not.

However, since these variants are as contagious and contagious as those found in the UK, many believe that the signs and symptoms will not be much different.

08/8 When should I seek help?

Any strain of the virus requires diligent care and immediate action.

If you have a persistent cough, sore throat, fever, muscle pain or unusual tiredness, consider getting a COVID test right away.

Isolate yourself, seek appropriate medical advice and take all necessary steps.

If you have signs of a severe infection, such as severe shortness of breath, chest pain, heart pain, delirium, or high fever, it could be a sign that you need to be hospitalized.
