Shilpa Shirodkar Suffering From COVID-19: Early Signs You Must Watch Out For

It seems COVID-19 is returning with fresh cases reported in Hong Kong, Singapore, China, and Thailand. Shilpa’s diagnosis comes at a time when Singapore is reported to have a spike in cases, becoming a hotspot for two new Omicron subvariants; LF.7 and NB.1.8. Both variants are descendants of the JN.1 lineage, which brought the 2024 global wave. While the new strains are not found to be more dangerous than the previous ones, they are spreading quickly. Most cases remain mild; however, it's crucial to be cautious and watch out for the following early signs:

• Persistent cough
• Sore throat
• Nausea and vomiting
• Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
• Brain fog or confusion
