Research has been done in many US states of the recently revealed BA.2.86 variant and the results of all have come out almost the same. BA.2.86 is also known as Pirola.

The situation under control in India

Dr. Rajiv Jayadevan, member of the Covid Task Force, says that new variants of the corona virus are continuously emerging globally. The current situation in India is quite controlled. However, our surveillance of new variants and movement from abroad should not weaken. The government, especially the administration, needs to take this seriously.

 

Similar results in China-Sweden

Apart from America, the results of research by scientists from China and Sweden regarding the Pirola variant have also been similar to America. The Pirola variant was considered to be a very deadly variant till now but there was no evidence at that time and the World Health Organization was also investigating it. Now different countries have started investigating this variant at the domestic level, the results of which are beginning to emerge.
