Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzes how COVID-19 symptoms have changed over time in England from May 2020 to March 2022, especially with different variants like Omicron.
  • It finds that Omicron variants are linked with fewer reports of loss of smell or taste but more cold-like and flu-like symptoms compared to earlier strains.
  • Despite the idea that newer variants are milder, Omicron BA2 was shown to cause more symptoms and greater disruption to daily life than BA1, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring of symptoms as public health restrictions evolve.
