Cases of COVID-19 are on the rise, fuelled by the spread of a new variant called Pirola. But how can you tell if you have the virus - and should you isolate yourself?

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has launched a new कोविड-19 and flu dashboard following an increase in the number of infected patients in hospitals in the UK.
According to the dashboard, there were more than 11,000 positive COVID-19 cases reported in England in the week leading up to and including 20 September 20231. However, although cases are on the rise, they are not as high as they were this time in 2022.
The rise in new cases has been linked to the COVID-19 variant BA.2.86, which is also known as Pirola. It is a sub-variant of Omicron and has more than 30 mutations in its spike protein, compared with other Omicron variants. This means it may spread more easily, as the spike protein is how the virus enters human cells.
The UKHSA said Pirola has been identified in most regions, but added that vaccination offered protection against serious illness caused by the coronavirus.
Professor Susan Hopkins, chief medical advisor of the UKHSA said in a statement:
"The autumn vaccination programme has started 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. I urge everyone eligible to come forward for their next dose as soon as they are called."

सामग्री पर वापस जाएंIf you or your child have tested positive for कोविड-19, you should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day the test was taken if you are under 18.
If you’re over 18, you should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took your test.
It’s important to avoid meeting people who are more likely to get seriously ill from viruses -such as the elderly or people with a weakened immune system - for 10 days after the day you took your test.

What we know about the new COVID-19 variants Eris and Pirola
With lockdowns a thing of the past, COVID-19 may not be at the forefront of everyone's minds - but it is continuing to spread. And as long as it does so, mutations of the virus, often referred to as different variants, will continue to emerge. Here we look at what we know about the two new strains, Eris and Pirola.

COVID-19: How contagious is Omicron?
A new variant of COVID-19 was discovered in late November 2021. Named Omicron (and known scientifically as B.1.1.529), the variant was identified by Dr Angelique Coetzee of the South African Medical Association. We're still in the early stages, and not a lot is known about the Omicron variant just now - new information is coming to light each day. However, we can explore how contagious it could be, and how we can protect ourselves against it.
