The XEC variant of COVID-19, a sub-variant of the Omicron variant, has been making headlines lately. While it is still too early to say for sure what the full range of symptoms associated with XEC are, some common symptoms reported by those who have tested positive for the variant include:

It is important to note that these are just a few of the symptoms that have been reported, and the full range of symptoms may not yet be known. Additionally, some people may experience only mild symptoms, while others may experience more severe symptoms.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to get tested for COVID-19 as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment can help to improve outcomes.
