Dr. Angelique Coetzee practices in Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, one of the countries where the Omicron CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus variant was first detected earlier this month.
Coetzee recalled seeing a variety of patients enter with symptoms not associated with other CCP virus strains, including a high pulse rate.
“Their symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had treated before,” Coetzee told The Telegraph.
Most of the patients who turned up to her clinic and have tested positive for COVID-19 felt tired.
Other symptoms included sore muscles and a slight cough, Coetzee added to Sputnik.
“There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected, some are currently being treated at home,” she said.
