The so-called "Stealth Omicron" strain now accounts for about 35 percent of new COVID cases in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).

Those infected with the BA.2 subvariant have been mainly reporting symptoms common to Omicron, NBC News reported. They are:

  • Cough
  • Fatigue
  • Congestion
  • Runny nose

In addition, dizziness that may come and go during the day has been reported among those infected with the BA.2 sub-variant.

The BA.2 subvariant has a faster rate of transmission than BA.1, the original Omicron strain, experts say, but it's not believed to cause more severe illness.
