It’s worth noting these reports are so far confined to the US.
A recent analysis of data from the Covid ZOE app – which logs symptoms from thousands of users across the UK – shows a headache is now the most reported symptom.
The team behind the ZOE Covid study said: “The previous ‘traditional’ symptoms as still outlined on the Government website, such as anosmia (loss of smell), shortness of breath and fever rank way down the list, at six, 29 and eight respectively.”
Although, “if you’ve not yet been vaccinated, then the symptoms are more recognisable to the traditional original ranking”, they noted.
