Senior reporter Catherine Pearson spoke with experts on what symptoms to look out for. Learn about them all below, and keep reading for some other important info on BA.2. ❤️, Lindsay |

Got a spare minute? Use it to change your life. Our "A Minute And Change" series will help you become happier, healthier and more productive by doing one thing a little differently. This week's tip comes from Liz Letchford, a personal trainer and injury rehabilitation specialist in Los Angeles, on the one exercise you should do before jumping into a morning workout:
