The variant is fast becoming the dominant strain in the UK, with positive cases doubling almost every few days in recent weeks. It has been confirmed that it has more than 30 different mutations, making it difficult for experts to analyse it properly – but it is worrying enough that the World Health Organization has placed it on its watch list. And as the country heads into autumn, it is thought that there will be a huge surge of cases from the BA.2.86 strain as was seen when the coronavirus pandemic was at its most dangerous in 2020 and 2021. Now the UK's Health and Security Agency has claimed that it has been spotted almost everywhere in the UK. A spokesman said: 'BA.2.86 continues to transmit within the UK, with sporadic cases identified in most regions.' Symptoms of the Covid Pirola strain: Sneezing Sore throat Headache Runny nose and either Mild or severe fatigue And Professor Susan Hopkins, Chief Medical Advisor of the UKHSA said: 'While this is still very early data and more research is needed before we can be certain, it is encouraging to see an initial indication that BA.2.86 demonstrates similar levels of antibody escape compared to other variants circulating in the UK. "The available data is too limited to draw conclusions about the severity of the illness it causes, but there is so far no evidence to suggest that it is more likely to make people seriously ill than other Omicron variants in circulation. 'The autumn vaccination programme started this month, and this new data shows once again how important it is that the most vulnerable among us are fully vaccinated in order to receive the greatest possible protection.

Here are the symptoms of a new Covid variant that is highly evasive to the immune system and is spreading fast in the UK with it now being found “in most regions”
The Covid variant Pirola is now “in most regions in the UK” and as it spreads fast, here are the symptoms to look out for.
It is a multi-mutated and highly immune system evasive strain of coronavirus that is fast becoming the dominant strain in the UK, with positive cases doubling almost every few days in recent weeks. It has been confirmed that it has more than 30 different mutations, making it difficult for experts to analyse it properly and is on the World Health Organization’s watch list.
And as the country heads into autumn, it is believed there will be a surge in cases of the BA.2.86 strain. The UK’s Health and Security Agency has said that it has been spotted in most parts of the UK, with a spokesman stating: “BA.2.86 continues to transmit within the UK, with sporadic cases identified in most regions.”
