These Are The Newest Covid-19 Symptoms To Watch For As Many Countries Face A Sixth Wave

The world might be ready to move on from COVID-19, but health officials say there are several "new" symptoms to watch out for with a sixth wave ahead of us.

The symptoms aren't coming out of nowhere, but public health experts have only recently confirmed what they've suspected fro a while — and now those symptoms are going on the list.

The UK’s Nationa Health Service recently added a bunch of symptoms to its official list, and “feeling sick” is one of them, whatever that means.

The NHS expanded its list this week by adding nine additional symptoms, some of which we’ve heard about for a while, such as a sore throat and headache, reported Stylist.

The new symptoms include:

• Shortness of breath
• Feeling tired or exhausted
• Aching body
• Headache
• Sore throat
• Blocked or runny nose
• Loss of appetite
• Diarrhea
• Feeling sick or being sick

Although a few of these symptoms have been linked to COVID-19 for a while, the NHS has finally bitten the bullet and added them to their list.

These are possible symptoms in addition to the ones we've know about for a while, which include a persistent cough, a fever and a loss or change of taste and smell.

The U.S. CDC and Canada have already listed many of these recently-confirmed symptoms to their own lists in recent months.

Here's the full list of symptoms on the Canadian government's website:

• Sore throat
• Runny nose
• Sneezing
• New or worsening cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Temperature equal to or more than 38°C
• Feeling feverish
• Chills
• Fatigue or weakness
• Muscle or body aches
• New loss of smell or taste
• Headache
• Abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting
• Feeling very unwell

The CDC list is comparatively smaller but has virtually all the same symptoms as Canada and the UK.

The NHS update comes as a bunch of countries are facing a sixth wave — and as many of those countries are taking steps to open up again.
