A headache, sore throat and runny nose are now the most reported Covid symptoms, scientists say. .

A headache is now the most reported symptom of Covid while a sore throat is the second most complained about, but neither are on the official list of virus symptoms.

It subsequently added a loss or change to smell or taste as a symptom of the virus, following pressure from Covid campaigners.

Most people who catch Covid and show symptoms have at least one of these, according to the NHS. .

But it has now been overtaken by a headache (66 per cent), sore throat (53 per cent), runny nose (49 per cent)  and fever (42 per cent) in under 40s, while over 40s showed similar results, Professor Spector claimed

Dr Alex Sohal, a GP in Tower Hamlets, London, who was the lead writer of the letter, said patients were reporting these mild symptoms and went on to test positive for Covid within a few days

Their data, which was gathered through a survey of 10,000 people and released in April, revealed that around 53 per cent of people who test positive for the virus suffer no symptoms

UK daily infections data shows that 7,393 people tested positive for the virus, the highest recorded since February
