New Delhi, Dec 17: Coronavirus infection now, is like severe cold and Omicron brings fairly mild illness, said a recent study. Prof. Tim Spector, Chief Scientist of Virology on the ZOE app, a Research Organisation which carries minute study on Covid-19 infections globally, said on Friday. Prof. Spector said the majority of infected people no longer have the "classical triad" of persistent cough, fever, and loss of smell and taste. While on the new mutant of Corona, Omicron he said, “We are yet to gather "accurate data" on Omicron symptoms, but that initial findings suggest they are not much different from Delta - which already showed milder and more cold-like symptoms than previous variants”.   Out case study revealed, “Majority of people testing RPCR positive actually have cold-like symptoms and they do not have the classical triad of ill COVID symptoms of fever, loss of smell and taste with persistent cough. It's slowly emerged into a more symptomatic milder condition that looks just like a severe cold to many people. More than 50% of people are presenting, and never getting those other symptoms”, he said. Studying on the new variant of Covid-19, Omicron he said, as many as 1,000 Omicron cases so far were studied, those appeared to produce a fairly mild illness and getting better after five days.
