There have been more calls for the official Covid symptoms list to be expanded.
Independent Sage, a group of scientists providing independent scientific advice to the UK government and public during the Covid-19 crisis, believe the symptoms list should be expanded.
The thinking goes that expanding the official list would not only raise awareness around the full list of possible Covid-19 symptoms, but also enable more people to access testing. If the public is more aware that mild signs such as a runny nose or sore throat could also signal Covid, people may also be more inclined to self isolate when feeling ill, rather than going about business as normal and potentially spreading the virus to others during its most infectious stage.
