Omicron originally spread from South Africa. Later it was identified in different countries of Europe including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Australia. Experts say that Omicron is the most mutated of the corona species.
However, patients infected with the Omicron variant do not have as many symptoms, said the head of the South African Medical Association. Angelique Quetzi. He was the first to suspect this new type of corona in patients and confirmed it through tests. Dr. Angelique Quetzi told Reuters, "I have seen mild symptoms in the body of an infected patient in several Omicron variants treated by me. They are recovering from the treatment at home without being admitted to the hospital. '
"On November 16, seven patients at my clinic had unfamiliar symptoms," he said. Which differs very little from the type of delta variant. That day a patient told me that I was feeling very tired. He also mentioned that he was feeling light pain in his body and head.

Dr. Quetzi said, ‘The symptoms that were present in the patients were related to the common viral infection. However, since we have not tested corona infections in the last 8-10 weeks, we decided to test their samples immediately. The patient and his family members received a positive report.

He added, "On the same day, we got some more patients with the same symptoms. Then we thought, we are going to see something different. That day I saw two to three new patients with this type of infection. '

"Most of the patients with Omicron are men under the age of 40," said Angelique Quetzi. Half of the infected men took the full dose of the corona vaccine. Omicron may become very abnormal in young patients. They need to be careful. "

"During the third wave of corona, we saw a number of delta variant infected patients," he said. However, this new type does not have much in common with the clinical picture of the Delta variant. Most of the Omicron sufferers are suffering from mild symptoms. The sufferers are experiencing mild muscle pain, sore throat and dry cough. A few people were found to have slightly higher body temperatures. '

According to the National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) in South Africa, the Omicron type was detected in samples collected between November 14 and November 16 in several laboratories in the country. After verification, November 25 can be confirmed as a new type.
