The world has been battling the fear of different variants of Covid in the last few years and still, this fear has not completely gone away. While there was a decline in the cases of this epidemic in the last few days, now once again the new variants of Corona have increased the concern of the people. Recently, new variants of Covid have once again increased the cases of this disease.

 

This new variant of Corona that has emerged recently has been named Pirola Variant. After Aeris, now Pirola virus has increased the concern of health officials. This new strain is considered more dangerous than all the variants that have appeared before. According to the information, cases of the Pirola variant have been found in countries like Denmark, the UK, South Africa, Israel, and Switzerland. Let us know all the important things related to this new variant-

 

Pirola is more serious than other variants

If scientists are to be believed, this new strain of Pirola may prove to be more dangerous than other variants of Corona that have surfaced earlier. However, till now scientists have not received much information about this new variant, hence accurate information regarding its danger is yet to be received.

 

who is at higher risk?

The Pirola or BA.2.86 variant is a sub-variant of the Omicron variant, which is derived from the XBB variant of Omicron. At the same time, if we talk about its ability to affect people, unlike the earlier variants of Corona, the Pirola variant is more dangerous for those people who have developed herd immunity after being infected with Covid earlier.

 

variant of interest

The World Health Organization (WHO) has placed Pirola in the category of 'Variant of Interest'. This category of WHO means that scientists are continuously monitoring this variant. Talking about the vaccine for this, no correct information has been received yet regarding the effect of the vaccine developed earlier on Pirola, due to which it remains a matter of concern.

 

Symptoms of Pirola

Due to the frequent mutations seen in the genes of the Pirola variant, the concern of scientists regarding it has increased. Whereas, if we talk about its symptoms, both Pirola and Aeris variants spread through droplets. If infected with this, a person may have to face problems like stomach problems, skin problems, colds, and fever.
