"The symptoms of omicron, right now from what we understand, resemble the flu," Sohal said. "Patients will have very severe, bad sore throats, nasal discharge."

Sohal said that if you are experiencing a sore throat, runny nose, or muscle pain, or are tired, sneezing, and coughing, get a Covid test rather than self-diagnosing yourself.
