Omicron: Symptoms of Covid variant include cough, runny nose and sore throat

Although there were no restrictions in place for events at the time in Norway, all attendees of the party were reported to be “fully vaccinated” and had been asked by the organiser to perform a rapid antigen self-test.

It was found that 66 out of the 117 people in attendance came down with confirmed Omicron, while there were a further 15 probable cases of the virus variant.

When the attendees were probed about their symptoms, a cough was the most commonly experienced one, with 83 percent of attendees said to be afflicted with this symptom.

This was followed by fatigue (74 percent), sore throat (72 percent) and a headache (68 percent).
