As the professor of genetic epidemiology Tim Spector points out, the Indian strain of SARS-CoV-2 most of all looks like a common cold. People with such symptoms should definitely pass the appropriate tests, the scientist notes.
“The person is not aware of this. He thinks he has some kind of seasonal cold and goes to parties, infecting others. We are looking at the main signs of infection. And now they are not the same as before, ”said the professor.
According to the World Health Organization, the main symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and fatigue.
