The "Omicron" strain is replacing "Delta" and has already been found in Ukraine. Scientists have named an atypical symptom that will help to understand that you have "Omicron"

The new Omicron strain is slowly but surely replacing the strain "Delta" and conquers the world. So, according to the American organization CDC, already in two states - New York and New Jersey - it was detected in 92% of cases of coronavirus. In the country as a whole, the incidence of this strain is 92%.

Omicron is also attacking Europe. In Denmark, for example, the incidence is 47%. Given the high infectivity of this strain, the hope that these rates will decline is illusory.

So far, one case of Omicron disease has been recorded in Ukraine so far. According to the Ministry of Health, he was brought to the country by a man who returned from the United Arab Emirates. An epidemiological investigation is now underway: contacts are being identified. So far, no new cases have been found.

If for old strains of coronavirus the most characteristic symptom was the loss of smell, then when infected with Omicron, the sense of smell, as a rule, persists. Scientists from the ZOE Covid Study in a commentary for The Guardian said that often when infected with this strain, a so-called "brain fog" occurs. It is characterized by:
