New strains of coronavirus are most often spread by young people. This was stated by Natalya Pshenichnaya, deputy director for clinical and analytical work of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, RIA Novosti reports.
“The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 have changed somewhat, but do not go beyond the known spectrum of ARVI symptoms, meeting mainly among young people, who for the most part tolerate the disease more easily, but, at the same time, is the main source of infection, actively spreading COVID-19 without realizing the consequences of their frivolous behavior, ”she said.
Earlier, the specialist named the main symptoms of the Indian strain of COVID-19. Those infected with this type of virus can have abdominal and joint pain, nausea, loss of appetite and even hearing. Patients are also more likely to have microthrombosis of the lower extremities (which can lead to gangrene) and diarrhea, while fever, coughing and loss of smell are less common.
