Today we are going to briefly talk about Omicron, the new variant of COVID-19, which is rapidly spreading and taking the world by storm. I am going to briefly describe about the signs and symptoms of Omicron, a variant of COVID-19. Omicron is behaving like another viral disease which signs and symptoms overlapping most of the viral diseases like fever, sore throat, fatigability, night sweats, running nose, breathing difficulty. The studies from Ames, New Delhi have come up with other findings like pale or blue color of lips, nail beds and skin and also jawiness of the chest. I request all the fellow citizens not to ignore all the signs and symptoms. At the same time, it is my duty to tell not to panic also during this pandemic. If you identify any of the signs and symptoms in yourself or any near and dear ones, please seek the expert opinion and get medical attention as early as possible so that we can win over this pandemic. Not but not the least, I again emphasize the steps of prevention of this COVID-19. Kindly follow the guidelines issued by our government and mask up all the time, make sure keep social distance and also follow hand hygiene techniques. And also kindly do vaccination as per your term and do mobilize whenever it is necessary only avoid unnecessary traveling. Thank you.
