The usual symptoms of the Covid 19 virus include fever, breathlessness, loss of smell and taste. But the second wave of Covid has arrived with some new symptoms aside from the usual fever and cold. Some of these symptoms cannot be disregarded as knowing them early will make you aware of when to go for a test or isolation.
This wave is spreading like a wildfire and some of the symptoms are entirely different than the first wave. Here are few symptoms to notice if you have contracted the virus.
1. Pink Eye
Many people infected with the recent strain of Covid have shown the symptoms of Pink eye or Conjunctivitis. In the pink eye, people develop redness, swelling, and watery eyes. According to a study in China, this is a sign of infection of the new strain.

Constant cough with a different sound, more like a smoker’s cough is one of the main symptoms of the new strain.
3. Gastrointestinal trouble
