A new study has uncovered the top symptoms of the latest omicron variant of coronavirus, as well as sharing the time frame in which you're likely to experience them.
The ZOE Covid Study logs data from over 4.7million users to track info on the virus - including symptoms, infection timescales, and prevalence in terms of area.
The latest information logged has identified that the top five symptoms of omicron are: a runny nose, headache, fatigue, sneezing and a sore throat.
Other commonly reported signs of omicron include a croaky voice, chills or shiver, brain fog, feeling dizzy, skipping meals and experiencing low mood.

Professor Tim Spector, who’s worked on the study, said: "Over 50 per cent of people with a cold-like symptom have PCR proven covid.
"It will be interesting to see if this changes when schools go back.
"It shows that the restrictions, social distancing, possibly mask wearing has had a greater effect on colds and flu than omicron, which is even better at infecting us.
"It does suggest that these symptoms are of shorter duration than they are of delta.
"People are having symptoms for a shorter amount of time, especially in that first week.
"If people are testing negative with lateral flow tests at the end of those five days because the whole period of that infection and getting over it appears to be faster."
