A new strain of covid threatens Nizhny Novgorod with weakness and “fog in the head”

A new strain of coronavirus PJ.2.1 can cause a prolonged decline in strength. About this in his MAX-channel told the editor-in-chief of Stationary-press Alexei Nikonov.

According to him, thanks to mutations, the virus became faster and more durable to fix on the cells of the respiratory tract - virologists have already called it a "jump-shaped" mutant. At the same time, an updated covid, unlike earlier versions, does not lead to a loss of smell and taste.

The main difference between the new strain is a pronounced weakness and a “fog in the head”, which can persist for weeks. Patients also complain of acute pain and pain when swallowing, temperature jumps up to 38.8 ° C, headache and muscle pain, severe swelling and irritation of the nasopharynx and trachea. In rare cases, nausea and stool disorder occur.

The disease is treated as standard. The danger of the new strain is primarily for the elderly and patients with chronic diseases, who remain at risk of complications.
