For example, fatigue and a fast heart rate are being more commonly reported now.
Dr Angelique Coetzee, a private practitioner and chair of the South African Medical Association, said none of her patients had been seriously ill, but they had body aches, a scratchy throat and headaches.
Interestingly, Dr Coetzee said none of the Omicron patients had reported a loss of taste or smell, as is so common with other Covid variants.
She also said there had been no major drop in oxygen levels seen with the new variant.
