Cases of the “Nimbus” (NB.1.8.1) and “Stratus” (XFG) Covid-19 variants are rising globally, now dominating infection trends across major regions like Asia, Europe, and the US. In the UK, Stratus accounts for 63% of recent cases, with Nimbus at 25%, as per the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). What are the symptomsCommon symptoms for both variants are largely similar to the previous Covid strains. The Nimbus variant, for example, frequently causes a sharp, “stabbing” sore throat, intense fatigue, mild cough, nasal congestion, fever, and digestive distress for some. The Stratus variant displays typical Covid symptoms, such as sore throat, cough, runny nose, fever, headache, and muscle aches.
