“data that’s coming from the United Kingdom (indicates) that does seem to be a change in the symptoms associated with the Delta virus. People are reporting more commonly with the Delta virus: headache, persistent cough and sore throat, runny nose and a fever or high temperature. In some ways this is different to what we originally saw, which was more fever, loss of taste and smell, cold symptoms, runny nose, flu-like symptoms, so there is some variation. The important message for everyone is if you have any symptoms at all, however mild, don’t try to work it out for yourself. The important thing is to get tested and stay home until you get your result.” Australian Government Dept of Health:
