Coronavirus restrictions could be tightened across England after Christmas in an effort to control the spread of the Omicron variant.

Health Minister Sajid Javid told Sky News that ministers discuss the latest coronavirus data almost every hour with scientific advisors.

He added that the government would “do what is necessary” when asked about other possible measures.

It follows London’s announcement of a “major incident” yesterday, where the capital’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, described the rapid rise in cases as “extremely worrying”.

Speaking to ITV’s Lauren, Dr. Amir Khan said doctors from South Africa – the country where the variant was first discovered – have found patients to experience night sweats while they sleep, HullLive reports.

Night sweats is another term for excessive sweating. When you sweat a lot, your night clothes and bedding are left wet, even when you sleep in a cool room.

The main symptoms of coronavirus are a high temperature, a new and persistent cough, as well as a loss or alteration of the sense of smell or taste.

However, according to doctors, patients detected using the Omicron variant said they experienced body aches, aches, fatigue, fever, and a dry cough.

They also added that these effects are milder among those vaccinated.

Dr Khan explained: “Symptoms emerging from South Africa by clinicians caring for Omicron patients show these five new symptoms.

“Itchy throat, mild muscle aches, extreme fatigue, dry cough and night sweats. This is the kind of sunken night sweats where you may have to get up and change your clothes.

“And that’s important. It’s important that we stay on top of these symptoms, because if we’re going to trace Omicron here and around the world, we need to be able to test people with these symptoms.”
