The World Health Organization told RIA Novosti that symptoms of the new COVID-19 strain PJ.2.1 may resemble a cold or the flu, and testing is necessary. According to the WHO, it is impossible to determine with certainty from symptoms alone which respiratory virus caused the infection. Earlier, the WHO office in Russia said the risk of the strain spreading is increasing.
