Unlike earlier variants like delta that affected the lungs, omicron and its sub variants tend to cause more upper respiratory symptoms includes runny nose, cough, fever, sore throat and fatigue among others. Some people who have been infected with the Omicron variant can experience long-term effects from their infection, known as Long COVID or Post-COVID Conditions (PCC).
