Omicron symptoms may include night sweats - Fox News

As the omicron variant of the coronavirus continues to spread around the country, some patients are reported to be experiencing new symptoms.

Doctors say some people are now reporting night sweats, a symptom also associated with sleep disorders, some cancers and the flu?

John Torres noted to the "Today" show that night sweats is a "very strange symptom" and said people aren't reporting a loss of taste or smell as much with omicron.

Amir Khan of the U.K.'s National Health Service called on the agency to update its symptoms list – including night sweats.

Typical COVID-19 symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or trouble breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting and new loss of taste or smell

While there are still many unknowns about the variant, CDC data shows omicron accounts for approximately 98% of new COVID-19 cases
