The latest data from the Zoe health study reveals the top 10 most common symptoms of people infected with coronavirus
Covid-19 infections continue to rise in the run-up to Christmas in England, according to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics .
The latest data from the Zoe health study shows which symptoms people with coronavirus are most likely to display. According to Zoe, people are now much less likely to suffer from some of the more 'traditional' symptoms that experts used as an indicator of Covid-19 during the early days of the pandemic. Loss of smell, shortness of breath and fever are now much less common among people with the virus, it said.
Dr Jamie Lopez Bernal, consultant epidemiologist for immunisation at the UK Health Security Agency , said: “During the winter, we would expect to see a rise in Covid activity and other winter viruses as people are mixing more indoors again. Covid hospitalisations are highest in the oldest age groups, so it is particularly important that everyone who is eligible continues to come forward to accept their booster jab.

Risk factors for severe Covid-19 breakthrough infections: an observational longitudinal study - BMC Infectious DiseasesBackground The drive to vaccinate large populations is nowadays the main instrument for combating the pandemic and preventing serious disease and death. However, breakthrough infection (post-vaccination infection) still happens after vaccination among fully vaccinated people. We aimed to assess the severity outcomes and to determine its associated factors among vaccinated COVID-19 cases in the governorate of Sousse, Tunisia. Methods We carried out a five-month observational longitudinal study including all the population of Sousse. Confirmed infections of SARS-CoV-2 and the vaccination status are recorded in the daily COVID- 19 database of the Regional Office of the Tunisian Ministry of Health. We included all post-vaccination COVID-19 cases for the analysis of the COVID-19 serious outcomes. Data were collected via 15-min telephonic call interviews conducted by trained interviewers. Descriptive analysis with calculating incidence rates of confirmed COVID-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants was conducted. In binary logistic regression, adjusted odds ratios along with 95% intervals confidence were performed to determine factors related to severe or critical COVID-19. Results As of 31 July 2021, 107,545 persons over 19 years old have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination. Among the vaccinated population, we traced and included 765 breakthrough infection cases, and the incidence rate was 711.3 per week. The majority were female (sex-ratio = 0.8), and the average age of the overall cases was 55.7 years. The prevalence of severe or critical cases in vaccinated COVID-19 patients occurs in 10.8% of cases. Patients with a medical history of cardiovascular diseases had more than two times increased odds to have a severe or critical disease. We also found the highest self-estimation of adherence to preventive measures was inversely correlated to serious cases and having an incomplete vaccination schema was strongly associated with complications. Conclusions We tried
