It's good to know that the symptoms for two new variants of COVID are different from previous variants. The symptoms are similar to those of viral meningitis. Not a cold, not the flu. BA.5 symptoms are fever, headache, neck stiffness, sensitive to light, irritability, nausea, exhaustion, numbness/tingling in extremities along one side, throbbing muscle and joint pain, and some GI involvement.

Here's one article about it.
