One in four patients said they had noticed changes to their tongue, while four out of 10 spotted unusual signs on the palms of their hands or soles of their feet.

British media, plagued with the new variant, is warning its nation about the 6 warning signs to watch for: While cough and fever remain, now included are rashes, tiredness, and headaches..
