New Delhi: The COVID-19 Pirola strain, also known as BA.2.86, is a severely mutated variation that has altered the infection's symptoms. Physicians report that although the strain has not resulted in a significant increase in cases, the disease's symptoms are altering and are already affecting people's faces.

The previous warning indicators—such as loss of taste or smell, hacking cough, and dyspnea—have become less frequent. Together with these unique symptoms, pirola also presents with aches and pains, a high fever, runny nose, sore throat, and diarrhoea.

Health experts state that in addition to the majority of the aforementioned symptoms, Pirola can also be recognised by outward manifestations on the face, such as pink eye, irritation of the eyes, and a severe skin rash. According to medical professionals, the novel virus targets the upper respiratory tract, which encompasses the voice box and nose.

In order to prevent the infection, the authorities have urged for accelerating the vaccine campaign, particularly for people with weakened immune systems, such as youngsters and the elderly.

The chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Dr. Jenny Harries, told the Daily Mail that "viruses mutate often and at random, and it is not unexpected that new variants will continue to arise as the pandemic goes on, particularly while the case rate remains high… it should serve as objective evidence that this pandemic is not over."
