It’s the only way to tell without testing that you have a ‘centaur’ – a new strain of coronavirus

It seems that the world is still far from final victory over the coronavirus infection. Millions of people have been exposed to the virus in various forms and have also received one of the available covid vaccines. Nevertheless, covid is progressing: new strains of the disease easily “break” the protective armor of antibodies and give rise to new disease outbreaks.

On the threshold of a new disorder – a strain under the exotic name “centaur”. For the first time, a new enhanced form of covid has been discovered in India. In recent weeks, many cases of infection have also been reported in European countries and the United States. Russian researchers confirm that the “centaur” has already reached the major cities of Russia – and every day its distribution is more and more guaranteed.

National virologists are already busy testing a new composition of an anti-covid vaccine targeting new strains of the disease. Omicron and centaur can strike even those who have been vaccinated – after all, their mutated formulas are more aggressive and stronger than “classic” covid.

At the moment, experts do not distinguish new unique centaur symptoms, thanks to which it would be possible to immediately understand that a person has fallen ill with this particular strain. However, since the centaur is considered one of the most aggressive subspecies of covid, doctors advise paying attention to the severity of symptoms, as well as how quickly the state of health deteriorates.

Since the development of omicron, the main signs of infection have not become coughing and loss of smell, as it was before. The main symptoms of the updated covid are severe sore throat, severe weakness and dizziness, nasal congestion and high-pitched hoarseness.

Of course, the manifestation of such ailments can also be associated with the usual course of SARS, so you should not panic in advance. However, the past two years have taught us all to be more mindful of our health. Therefore, if you have not been feeling well for several days and standard cold measures do not help, be sure to consult a doctor.
