Two new symptoms, nausea and vomiting, have been added to the Omicron variant, according to analysis done at Imperial College London. However, some of these symptoms also indicate different diseases. Istanbul Gelisim University Public Health Specialist Asst. Prof. Nurten Elkin, who underlines the need for a differential diagnosis because it can cause cancer, says, “Isolation and contact follow-up should be strictly controlled in the Omicron variant as well. It is necessary to provide information targeting especially those who are hesitant about vaccination, to vaccinate people who are not vaccinated quickly, and to ensure that people who have completed their primary vaccination schedule receive their reminder doses quickly.”
