The omicron variant has prompted waves of COVID-19 infections in the United States, causing heightened concerns and prompting increased mitigations across the country.
In a recent Nebraska omicron outbreak, five people were reinfected with COVID-19, according to a report from the CDC. Four of the individuals experienced loss of taste or smell during their first time with the virus, but none reported the symptoms during the second infection, the report stated.
Dr. Katherine Poehling, an infectious disease specialist and member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said last week that a cough, congestion, runny nose and fatigue appear to be prominent symptoms. "Anecdotal reports represent just one person," said Dr. Bruce Y. Lee, a professor of health policy and management at the City University of New York School of Public Health, told NBC News."We have to take them with a grain of salt."
