symptoms 

An African doctor who was one of the first to warn of the spread of a new variant of Corona said that the symptoms of ‘O Macron’ are very mild. Dr. Angelique Coetzee, head of the South African Medical Association, said he had seen seven patients in his clinic with symptoms different from those of Delta.

Extreme fatigue

mild muscle

aches,

dry cough

sore throat.

“The symptoms at this stage were related to a common viral infection and since we haven’t seen Code 19 for the last eight to 10 weeks, we decided to take the test,” he told Reuters. “We’ve seen a lot of Delta patients during the third wave of Corona, and they didn’t see the clinical picture. Most of them had very mild symptoms and no one had ever admitted patients for surgery.
