Quick Glance: What are the signs and symptoms of the Omicron BA.5 COVID variant?
  • BA.5 symptoms are comparable to those linked with the Omicron type, according to experts, but the infection may be less severe.

  • Fever, chills, and cough are still present in Omicron instances, although not as frequently as in previous versions of the virus.

  • BA.5, like other Omicron lineage mutations, appears to largely damage the upper respiratory system, according to scientists at the University of Colorado.

  • Loss of smell, which was a hallmark symptom of early COVID-19 cases, is uncommon with the Omicron subvariants, most likely because it suggests that the virus has impacted the neurological system.
