BBC News - Covid: Nine new symptoms added to official list
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-60982070
fever
new continuous cough
loss of sense of smell or taste
And now
shortness of breath
feeling tired or exhausted
aching body
headache
sore throat
blocked or runny nose
loss of appetite
diarrhoea
feeling sick or being sick
Not so much changing the goalposts as making them as wide as possible! Those symptoms are also for colds and flu. Part of me is wondering if some medics hate the idea of people not testing when required to pay, with the resulting fall in cases and covid finally disappearing out of the news?

The old symptoms wereThe official list of Covid symptoms has been expanded to include another nine signs of a coronavirus infection.
The UK Health Security Agency's updated guidance now lists symptoms including a sore throat, muscle pains and diarrhoea.
The move comes more than two years into the pandemic, and just days after free testing ended in England.
However, the NHS cautions that many of the new symptoms "are very similar" to those for colds and flu.
