The World Health Organization and officials in the US recognise other less common symptoms such as muscle pain and diarrhoea. Those symptoms each affected more than 25 per cent of people who were testing positive, the survey found. Cough, sore throat, fatigue and muscle aches all became more common with the new variant, while the loss of taste and smell became less common. Doctors and experts have called for the criteria for coronavirus testing to be widened in the UK repeatedly over the course of the pandemic. Their app allows users to log symptoms whenever they suffer them and then whether they test positive for the virus, revealing other warning signs.
