Speaking on Zoe’s YouTube channel, Professor Tim Spector shared the “latest” Covid symptoms to look out for. While some signs such as altered smell seem to be less “frequent,” others are on the rise.
He say: “[Symptoms] seems to have changed a bit as the Omicron BA.5 really dominated in the UK.
“Sore throat is still the main symptom here, followed by headache.”
In fact, this scratch mark was seen on 63% of Zoe Covid app users.
The research app helps the professor and his colleagues collect data from Covid-positive patients, identifying prominent markers.

Professor Spector added: “It appears to cause fewer symptoms and possibly milder in most people.
“Of course, there are exceptions and some people are still very sick.
“It’s possible that BA.5 causes symptoms with a lower viral load, and that could explain the slightly milder symptoms.”
Fortunately, Covid cases in the UK continue to decline weekly, based on figures from the Office for National Statistics.
Around one in 60 people is estimated to have contracted Covid in England and one in 65 in Wales in the week ending 23 August, while one in 50 is thought to have the virus in Northern Ireland and one in 55 people in Scotland.
