Two new omicron variant symptoms popped up in a recent breakthrough infection.
What’s happening: “Good Morning America” co-anchor Amy Robach said in a recent Instagram post that she experienced two symptoms of COVID-19 after suffering from a breakthrough infection.
- The two symptoms included exhaustion and lower back pain.
What she said: Robach said that she thought these early omicron variant symptoms were from hard training runs — not from the coronavirus
- “Just thought I was pushing myself too hard with my training runs!! It’s now day 6 since symptoms started, so hopefully getting stronger every day, was even able to jog a few slow miles in the snow — no one else was crazy enough to run in that ❄️ so had the path to myself! Hunkering down now and wishing everyone a safe and beautiful weekend.”
Flashback: Back pain has been known to be a COVID-19 symptom that lingers after infection, according to multiple experts.
- “Back pain, though common in most viral fevers, but compared to Delta, Omicronpatients tend to have more back pain and less loss of smell and taste,” said Dr. Ann Mary, a consultant of general medicine at Amrita Hospital in Kochi, told IANS, per Business Standard.
- Per CBS News, back pain has ranked among some of the most common COVID-19 symptoms in recent months.
