What Are the Symptoms of Omicron: The Strain Shows High Infectiousness in Armenia

As predicted, the new Covid-19 variant "Omicron" is registering high levels of transmissibility in Armenia. This information comes from the National Center for Infectious Diseases.

"Omicron" manifests with symptoms characteristic of seasonal flu and acute respiratory infections, including:

• Dry cough and sore throat
• Stuffy nose or nasal discharge
• Weakness
• Headaches
• Fever up to 38°C, sometimes higher
• Lower back pain

Given the tense epidemic situation in the country, it is crucial to remain vigilant, adhere to anti-epidemic rules, and consult with local physicians at the first sign of symptoms to detect the disease early and avoid further complications.

And of course, don't forget to get vaccinated. Studies have shown that the booster shot provides a high level of protection, including against the Omicron variant. The booster vaccination prevents severe disease progression and reduces the risk of hospitalization and death. Get vaccinated and stay protected.
