What are the symptoms of the Lambda variant?
PHE said tests were ongoing and there is currently no evidence the Lambda variant causes more severe disease or renders the current vaccines less effective.
The main symptoms of coronavirus the NHS advises people to look out for are:
- a high temperature
- a new, continuous cough
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
Most people with Covid symptoms will have at least one of these listed symptoms.
