This emergence of varied symptoms coincides with a global surge in Covid-19 infections, with the WHO reporting a 52% increase in new cases over the past month. A new Covid-19 sub-variant, JN.1, has been identified by health authorities in the UK, revealing additional symptoms beyond the typical upper respiratory tract signs. Interestingly, the previously common symptoms of loss of taste and smell are currently observed in only a small percentage of UK cases (2 to 3%). This emergence of varied symptoms coincides with a global surge in Covid-19 infections, with the WHO reporting a 52% increase in new cases over the past month. Fortunately, the majority of JN.1 cases display mild symptoms, with severity observed in less than 10% of cases, particularly among individuals with existing health conditions.
