According to studies carried out, the JN.1 variant does not cause a higher “incidence of severe disease or symptoms that differ from those associated with earlier strains”. In general, different types of coronavirus cause similar symptoms. “JN.1 is very similar to other Omicron types, causing common symptoms such as sore throat, congestion and runny nose, fever, chills, cough and fatigue,” said Dr. Minchi Kong.
