Doctor from South Africa Pillay: those infected with the omicron strain COVID-19 show flu symptoms 
Doctor from South Africa (South Africa) Unben Pillay listed the main symptoms that appear when infected with the omicron strain of coronavirus. His words are reported by Bloomberg.
The expert emphasized that at the moment in those infected the disease is mostly mild, but it is too early to draw long-term conclusions. “We have seen patients with flu symptoms, dry cough, fever, night sweats and body aches,” he revealed. According to Pillay, these symptoms are similar to the manifestations of the disease in other waves of COVID-19.
Earlier, Professor and Head of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Cape Town Hospital Mark Mendelso called a way to combat the omicron strain of coronavirus. According to him, vaccination will protect against the disease most effectively. The expert did not rule out that the strain can evade the immune system, which will increase the number of repeated infections.
