Pirola, scientifically called BA.2.86, has caused concern among experts
A new Covid variant has hit the UK, with cases of the Pirola Omicron strain spiking across the nation.
The strain originated in Israel and Denmark, and has since spread to the UK, USA, South Africa, Sweden, France, Portugal, Canada, Thailand, Switzerland and most recently, Australia.ZOE has detailed the five symptoms to watch out for. The most common symptoms include a runny nose, headache, fatigue , sneezing and a sore throat. But there have also been less common symptoms reported, including diarrhoea, eye irritation and rashes.
“Thanks to the success of our vaccine programme, we have built strong, broad immune defences against new variants throughout the population. However, some people remain more vulnerable to severe illness from COVID-19. This precautionary measure to bring forward the autumn programme will ensure these people have protection against any potential wave this winter.
