According to RIA Novosti, she said that with the Indian strain of the virus, pain in the abdomen and joints, nausea, loss of appetite and even hearing are more common. Referring to the data of Indian doctors, Pshenichnaya added that patients are more likely to have microthrombosis of the lower extremities (which can lead to the development of gangrene) and diarrhea, while fever, cough and loss of smell are less common.

“First of all, you need to understand that all the symptoms of covid-19 are non- specific, including loss of smell, which occurs in 70-80% of cases. Now there is some change in the spectrum of dominant early clinical manifestations due to the emergence of new strains of SARS-CoV2, ”the agency quotes the words of a specialist.
