COVID-19: Sore throat is now the 'most common' symptom of corona virus's
According to data from 17,500 people, sore throat may be the biggest symptom of covid. Recently, people affected by covid have been the most likely to notice this symptom.
Other common symptoms are headache, runny nose and cough.
High fever, loss of breath or loss of sense of taste, which the UK's public health agency NHS may list as possible covid symptoms, are no longer common.
Symptoms such as loud noises, sneezing, fatigue, muscle aches and dizziness are more common.
According to the Zoo App Study data, the 20 most common symptoms of COVID are:
- Sore throat - 58% of people complain of it
- Headache - 49%
- Closed nose - 40%
- Dry cough - 40%
- Runny nose - 40%
- Cough with mucus - 37%

- Muscle pain - 25%
- Dizziness - 18%
- Inflammation of the neck glands - 15%
- Eye pain - 14%
- Loss of sense of smell - 13%
- Chest pain - 13%
- Fever - 13 percent
- Cold or chills - 12%

More than 1.5 million people across the UK are being sent home swab tests every month under the Real Time Assessment of Community Transmission (React One) survey.
The results show that over time, the symptoms of code-infected people have changed.
Scientists believe that this may depend on how the virus or its form changes over time.
Since the original virus came out of Wuhan, various forms or variants of code have emerged, including the latest Omecron.
Researchers at Impact College London's React One say that loss of sense of smell and taste was less common with omecron. People are now reporting more cold and flu-like symptoms.
They reviewed the Omicron, also known as BA One and BA Two. It was spreading in March 2022.
Since then, two new types of omecron have been introduced, called BA4 and BA5. ''More and more people are getting sick.''
An estimated 27 million people in the UK are thought to have been COVID. "Crowd is still spreading among the people," said Professor Tim Spector, who runs the Zoo Health Study.
''Even people who have been coded and vaccinated before are being caught.''
He said, ''While we all want to make the most of summer in the UK, people have to decide for themselves whether going to crowded places, working from the office or using crowded public transport can be dangerous, Yes or no. ''
Both Zoo Study and React One Study were recently funded by the government.
