Health experts are warning people to be vigilant for Covid symptoms as the Pirola variant spreads across the UK. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has reported sporadic cases of the Pirola strain in most regions, with rates expected to rise during winter. The variant has been detected in 15 countries, including the US, Canada, and Australia. While there have been 54 confirmed cases in the UK, there have been no known deaths. Common symptoms of Covid include a runny or blocked nose, headache, fatigue, sore throat, and sneezing. However, some lesser-known symptoms may include skin rash, changes in the mouth or tongue (Covid tongue), red and sore fingers or toes, diarrhea, a hoarse voice, and itchy or red eyes. Vaccination is still effective against the Pirola variant, and individuals are advised to stay at home if experiencing symptoms.
