Could this be the Delta variant?

DS 14 doesn't have any of the 3 main symptoms, but has general flu symptoms and is too weak to walk this morning. We can't get a PCR due to the lack of the 3 main symptoms. Has anyone else had the Delta variant and experienced this weakness?

Yes it could be flu its going arpund at the moment but just say he has symtoms and get a pcr to be sure. Have you taken a lft?

they don't check what symptoms you have. When you book the test just say he has one of the main three.

You can get a PCR. You select no to symptoms and then later select ‘my health board has asked me to get tested’ admittedly it’s convoluted but you can get a test. I would just to be sure.

I'm trying to persuade him to do an LFT, I've ordered a PCR test.

Thanks everyone.

As the OP will have now seen, it doesn’t even ask which of the 3 main symptoms you have any more, just “Do you have coronavirus symptoms?”

Hope he’s OK OP.
