There are many symptoms of covid that you have to keep an eye on - these include a fever, a new and continuous cough as well as a change or loss to your taste and smell.
But in addition to the main three, some variants have their own unique symptoms.
For example, a headache, a runny nose, sneezing and a sore throat are all signs of the delta variant.
The latest omicron strain however causes brain fog, chest pain, dizziness as well as sore eyes, muscles and joints - to name a few.
The latest strain is said to go undetected compared to the likes of the delta variant as symptoms don't always have to involve the main three with many catching the virus and staying asymptomatic.
