As thousands come down with Covid every day, identifying Omicron symptoms are more relevant than ever. Whilst many individuals may develop mild illness, the last few years of the pandemic has shown how dangerous this virus can be.
There are over one million Covid cases in Scotland - 1,085,696 to be exact - and the NHS is facing shortages as staff fall ill.
Coronavirus affects people in different ways - being unvaccinated or having certain health conditions puts you at risk of developing serious illness, The Mirror reports.
Although many are able to treat themselves from home, the dangers of the latest variant are still very real. America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, has listed five specific symptoms that indicate someone with Omicron may need closer medical attention than first thought.
