FAQ
What are probable symptoms of the omicron variant of COVID_19? Evidence has expressed that the omicron variant of COVID_19 has extremely mild symptoms mostly similar to a cold. Cough, fatigue, sneezing, sore throat, headache and a runny nose are the most common symptoms. Some more specific symptoms such as a scratchy throat, body aches and nasal congestion have been seen in some patients. Based on research [Ref 2], no severe symptoms have been observed in omicron infected individuals. However, more people than ever have been vaccinated so the mild symptoms might be due to vaccinations.
Does the omicron variant of COVID_19 spread faster than other variants? The omicron variant seems likely to be more spreadable in comparison with Delta or original covid, however, no firm evidence proves it. It is crystal clear that individuals infected by the omicron variant can spread it to others even if they are vaccinated or asymptomatic.
Can Antigen Rapid Testing Kits diagnose the omicron variant? Antigen Rapid tests are accurate, simple to use, low cost and rapid testing kits for COVID_19 diagnosis. They are available in two types of nasal and saliva. The Ecotest COVID_19 Antigen Saliva test kit is capable of detecting the omicron variant as it is diagnostic of Delta variant and original covid. The Ecotest saliva test produces results in just a few minutes and is appropriate for home use or the office.
Are vaccinations protective against omicron infection? Scientists are still collecting data on how protective the current vaccines are against omicron variants. It is observed that vaccinated people are also prone to be infected by the omicron. Nevertheless, vaccinated individuals are less likely to become severely ill.
