With Omicron, it’s hard to tell if case is Covid or flu. Get tested, doctors say

As almost every household is reporting sniffles, sneezes, runny nose or slight to high fever, which could be signs of virus spread, experts stress caution.

Nisha Ghalan has had a runny nose, sore throat and cough for the last three days. But she has continued running her grocery shop in Tarakeshwor, on the northern rim of Kathmandu. Her grandmother, 84, her brother, sister-in-law and two children of her brother also have similar problems, she said.
