Symptoms of Omicron
South African Medical Association (SAMA) Chief Angelique Coetzee said that in the last 10 days, she has seen 30 patients infected with the new variant of the coronavirus, Omicron. The patient infected with Omicron has problems like extreme tiredness, sore throat, muscle pain, and dry cough. The body temperature rises. Its symptoms are quite different from the delta variant of Corona.
SAMA Chief made this Claim
Angelique Coetzee said that all the patients she has seen so far had not been vaccinated. They had mild symptoms of Omicron. I think a large number of people in Europe are infected with this variant. Most of the patients who have been found infected with Omicron so far are less than 40 years old.
Why was South Africa Isolated?
SAMA Chief Angelique Coetzee further said that the new variant of Corona, Omicron, has brought a lot of notoriety to South Africa. Because of this, many countries including Europe have banned flights to South Africa. South Africa has been isolated. this is not right.

He said that the scientists of South Africa have shown caution regarding the new variant of Corona. He should be praised for this. It is not right to criticize them. We have discovered a new variant of covid. I think the countries of Europe have not shown caution about Omicron, there are also a large number of cases.
