The symptoms of the new covid variant omicron are the same as the symptoms of flu. However, there are some minor distinctions that can make it hard to distinguish between omicron and the flu. According to health experts, it is quite difficult since both the flu and Omicron have familiar symptoms, such as a cough and a runny nose. So, how can anyone displaying symptoms distinguish between the flu and omicron? Of course, one way is to get oneself tested and be sure about the same.

“The major symptoms in Covid are that the fever is generally present for one or two days, then the fever goes away, and there is strong body pain and backache, much worse than in the flu. We don’t see as much back pain, severe headaches, and body aches in flu patients, which may be pretty severe in the first one to three days in Covid,” says Dr. Bharesh Dedhia, Chief Consultant, Critical Care at P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre, Khar Unit.

He adds that people seem to be casual about the new variant, claiming that it is nothing more than a cold and that there is no need to be concerned. People are still roaming around without properly wearing their masks. “This is a risky situation because, ideally, if we are nearing the end of the epidemic, now is not the time to let our guard down,” the doctor says.

Meanwhile, India registered 2,85,914 new Corona Cases, 665 casualties today. With this India’s count of cases has gone up to 4,00,85,116. According to the Union Health Ministry, the current corona active cases in the country dropped to 22,23,018.
