‼️A new coronavirus strain PJ.2.1 is spreading worldwide: its symptoms can easily be mistaken for ordinary flu or a cold, — WHO
📍The COVID-19 PJ.2.1 variant was first detected in Canada in May 2026. Cases were later recorded in the US, Europe, and other countries.
📍Main symptoms may include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, body aches, and severe fatigue — similar to common respiratory infections.
📍Based on symptoms alone, it’s impossible to reliably distinguish coronavirus from the flu. Testing may be required to identify the pathogen.
📍Research has shown that PJ.2.1 has mutations that may help the virus spread more quickly. Scientists continue to study its properties.
📍The greatest risk of severe COVID-19 remains for older adults, pregnant people, and individuals with chronic conditions or weakened immune systems.
📍So far, the WHO has found no evidence that PJ.2.1 causes more severe disease or fundamentally new symptoms compared with other coronavirus variants.
