A study involving more than one million people in England revealed chills, a loss of appetite, headaches and muscle ache are extra symptoms linked with contracting Covid-19. The findings are based on swab tests and questionnaires collected between June 2020 and January 2021 as part of the Imperial College London-led React study. The researchers estimate that if everyone who had classic symptoms were tested, it would pick up around half of all symptomatic infections.

While, according to the study, symptoms were broadly similar - in January, compared to November - December, loss or change to one's sense of smell was less predictive of having Covid-19.
